Totally seeing red this week, look at these red snacks from last weeks Perfectly Imperfect Produce Box. yuuuuuuum. Let’s talk these little tomatoes, shall we? Grape tomatoes are usually my go-to in the winter, when tomatoes aren’t in season and don’t taste like a tomato should. These little guys are not quite sweet yet, which make them perfect for cooking.
Roasting the peppers and tomatoes adds depth of flavor, while bringing out their natural sweetness. You just rough chop the veggies, roast and blend. For richness, I added some cream, but you can add almond milk or leave out cream all together. The sauce is delicious just as a veggie component.
This recipe is also perfect as a pizza sauce, swirled into olive oil for bread dipping or blended with extra stock to make a quick soup! The pasta-bilities are pretty vast, so if you try something different, let me know! Let’s dig in!
