Just think of Ketchup on steroids! I make this all the time. There is nothing to it. The prep takes minutes. The cooking time is long but there is nothing you need to do other than wait...wait...wait. Trust me the wait is worth it. Spread it on pizzas as a base, use as your sauce for chicken cacciatore, or simply use as a side for almost anything. It is really just a really slow roasted tomato with lots of great stuff packed on top. Normally I make a huge batch of these roasted tomatoes for our standard Sunday barbeque. They accompany the meat or grilled veggies that we normally do. They are also great in Caponata. What is left over I blend in my food processor with a dash of great quality olive oil and instantly I have a great condiment. It will store in your fridge or a week and what you do not use put it in a ziploc bag and freeze...that is if you can keep your spoon out of the bag!
