Ingredients

Servings

• 1000 gram Ripe tomatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 clove Garlic cloves
• 20 gram Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 liter Water

Instructions

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Make a small cross-shaped incision on the bottom of each tomato. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for about 1 minute, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water.
2. Peel the skin off the tomatoes and roughly chop them.
3. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes, basil leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well.
5. Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
6. Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
7. Strain the tomato stock through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
8. Let the stock cool completely before storing it in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
9. The tomato stock can be used as a base for soups, sauces, or other dishes.
