Roast hard
Heat the oven to 230°C. Toss capsicum, tomatoes, onion and garlic with oil. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes until collapsed and charred at rough edges.

Roasted capsicum and tomato sauce with smoky edges, natural sweetness and enough backbone for pasta, pizza or tray bakes.

Roasting beats simmering watery vegetables for an hour. Keep a few charred edges in the blend so the sauce tastes cooked, not manufactured.
Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.
Heat the oven to 230°C. Toss capsicum, tomatoes, onion and garlic with oil. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes until collapsed and charred at rough edges.
Blend with vinegar and paprika, leaving a little natural texture rather than polishing it completely smooth.
Simmer for 5 minutes. Add salt and another splash of vinegar if the tomatoes taste flat.
Use immediately or freeze in 250 ml containers for pizza, pasta, meatballs and shakshuka.
