Notes
Tips and Techniques
- Any combination of tomatoes can be used.
- The head of garlic can be roasted whole or broken up into cloves. The garlic can be roasted unpeeled, then peeled once roasted. It’s much easier to remove the peels once the garlic is cooked and softened.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 3-4 days.
