Ingredients
12 vine tomatoes
2 onions, diced
20g of fresh thyme, chopped
20g of rosemary, chopped
8 tbsp of tomato purée
600ml of water
50g of double cream
25g of sugar
10g of salt
100ml of sunflower oil
Method
Place the whole tomatoes (with stalks attached) onto a baking tray with 3/4 of the oil and cook in a preheated oven set to 180°C/gas mark 4 for an hour
Heat the remaining oil in a heavy based saucepan and gently fry the diced onions in the pan for 10 minutes without colouring
Add the chopped herbs and tomato purée and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally
Remove the stalks from the roasted tomatoes and add to the saucepan along with the water. Leave to simmer for 1 hour
After an hour, transfer the contents of the pan into a blender and blitz until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve to remove any pips or tomato skin
