Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Oven-Roasted Tomato Sauce

This should be a safe tomato sauce for people who can't tolerate the store-bought varieties, because you can control exactly what goes in it! I will post the recipe as is, you can modify/omit ingredients to suit your own tolerances:

- 8 large beefsteak, OR 15 plum or roma tomatoes
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced onion
- olive oil (tomatoes will burn without it - just use as little as possible)
- 1 tbs EACH of dried oregano and basil (if you can tolerate)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 cups fresh basil

Place oven racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 400 F. Slice tomatoes in half and place in a very large bowl along with garlic and onions. Drizzle with oil and and sprinkle with seasonings. Toss to evenly coat. Tumble onto two large, rimmed baking sheets. Roast, uncovered, in top and bottom thirds of oven, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until tomatoes are very soft, 30-40 minutes. Switch position of baking sheets halfway through roasting. Scrape mixture from one baking sheet ino a food processor or strong blender and add one cup of the fresh basil. Whirl until no large chunks remain. Repeat with the remaining sheet. Sauce will keep well covered and refridgerated up to three days, or freeze up to three months.
