I make this when I have tomatoes that are past putting in a salad but not yet moldy.
Peel & chop the onions & tomatoes.
Add the peeled & sliced garlic to the olive oil and let it sizzle for 1 min, then add picked and chopped rosemary and let it sizzle for 1 min then add the onions and cook with the lid on until soft and just starting to brown.
Next add the tomatoes and mix them in well on a high heat boiling until they've started to break down.
Finally add the chicken stock & boiling water & the tinned tomatoes & bring to the boil.
Simmer for 30mins or more until the volume has reduced by a quarter to a third.
Blend with a stick blender until smooth and use as needed.
If I make a lot I store it in a 1L squeazy in the fridge.
