Instructions

  1. Saute the shallots in the olive oil.
  2. Add the tomatoes, and lightly crushed garlic cloves as well as the stripped thyme leaves and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. The juice from the tomatoes should be completely gone by that time and you should be left with a flavourful reduction.
  4. Allow to cool completely and either use immidiately or freeze for later use.
