The tomatoes cook very evenly in the oven, the sugar can slowly caramelize and the tasty result looks like this:
Tomatoes cooked and caramelized in the oven serve as the basis for our fantastic tomato sauce!
The taste of the resulting tomato stock is a real hit, I always save a few tomatoes for decoration.
You can skin the tomatoes now or leave the skin on, mix them and partly serve them whole and partly pressed into small pieces with the resulting stock for the pasta or prepare them fresh again.
To prepare freshly, take a diced onion, one or two cloves of garlic and a little olive oil.
Sauté the onions and garlic in a saucepan until colourless, after 3-4 minutes deglaze with about 80 ml of dry white wine or Prosecco.
Then add the tomatoes cooked in the oven with the stock and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
By the way, I also cook the stalks and the tomato stalks, they contain a lot of tomato flavor, I like doing the work here and then fish them out of the tomato sauce before serving.
I would never have thought of preparing the tomatoes in the oven.
Thanks for the great instructions and the many pictures.

Hello Thomas Sixt,
here is my cooking question about the sauce with tomatoes:
Can you use something non-alcoholic instead of white wine?
Kind regards Susan

Hello Susan,
My recommendation: just leave out the wine.
Experiments with substitute products were not convincing for me. Red wine can be replaced with berry syrup, I would be careful with the tomato sauce because it distorts the taste.
Leaving it out is a better option, balance it out with some chicken broth (sweet taste) or vegetable broth (vegetarian/vegan).
Good luck! Kind regards Thomas

Hello Thomas!
I stumbled onto your site today while looking for a recipe with fresh tomatoes (I have a lot at the moment).
I chose the oven variant and then again with onions…. and Prosecco. Tastes really great and the scent…. hm.

Hi Thomas,
This is a very tasty recipe. Great Easy and Tasty.
Was a little surprised at first because of the stalks, but in the end I made it as in the recipe. Fishing out was worth it.
Since I cleared the greenhouse, I had a lot of tomatoes and immediately cooked them in advance and filled them in jars.
I'm already looking forward to the next meal with tomato sauce.
Thanks for the great recipe.
