500g ripe tomatoes,cored,seeded and roughly sliced
1 onion,sliced
2 garlic cloves,sliced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt
black pepper,freshly ground
handful basil or oregano leaves,optional
Tumble tomato,onion and garlic with oil and put into a saucepan (or spread in a baking dish into which mixture will fit without too much extra space).
Cook over a moderate heat for about 15 minutes,(or bake at 180C tightly covered with foil,for at least one hour until tomato has collapsed,skins are wrinkled and golden-brown,and juices are flowing).
When tomato and onion are soft,press everything through the coarsest disc of a food mill. Season to taste and add a handful of herbs if you wish.
