  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

     

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

 

Preheat oven to 400F. Have ready a glass baking dish.

Cut a hole in the top of each tomato, where the stem is. Into each hole place 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon basil, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt an pepper.

Bake for 45 minutes.* Until tomato skins are wrinkly and the garlic is very fragrant.

Remove from oven. Using an immersion blender, or carefully transfer to a tabletop blender, blend to desired consistency.
