Roasted Tomato Pizza Sauce

• 8 - 10 medium Roma tomatoes
• 3 large garlic cloves, smashed and roughly chopped
• 1 small shallot bulb, peeled and thinly sliced into rings
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs: basil, thyme, oregano, any one or all
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F
2. Heat a large saucepan water, enough to cover the tomatoes and bring just to a boil. Score each tomato with an "X" using a sharp knife. Place the tomatoes into the hot water.
3. When the skins begin to curl up around the "X"es, remove from the pan and allow to cool to the touch.
4. Peel the skins off, cut in halves, and gently squeeze cut side down to remove the seeds. Cut the tomatoi halves into 1/4 inch sliced - it doesnt have to be perfect but don't slice too thinly.
5. On a parchment paper lined baking sheet add the tomato slices, shallot, garlic, herbs, and olive oil and combine. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Form the mixture into a shallow pile - do not spread out - and place the pan on the center rack of the oven. Roast for one hour, stirring about 30 minutes in and keeping in a pile.
7. Remove and allow to cool. Mash the tomato mixture into a lumpy paste. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
8. Spread evenly over your favorite pizza crust, top however you like - and enjoy!
