Grilled Tomato Sauce

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes about 1Ā 1/3 cups

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 large beefsteak tomatoes, halved crosswise
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup Roasted Garlic (recipe above)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the grill to high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 1 to 2 seconds). Brush the grill and the tomatoes with oil. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Grill the tomatoes until softened and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel the tomatoes; discard skins.

    Step 3

    Put the tomatoes, garlic, and oil in a bowl; mash with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
