today was a pretty busy day. we had family visiting from out of town and headed out early this morning for breakfast in napa. after breakfast and a bit of running around...i finally made it home in the early afternoon.
i had picked quite a few tomatoes from my garden and begin browsing through my cookbooks for a tomato soup recipe. i found a couple of recipes...and after reading thru them...knew the basics of what i should do.
first...i roasted the tomatoes. and a couple of red peppers. and an onion. romesco style. whole. skin on. drizzled in olive oil. sprinkled with kosher salt.
while the veggies cooled...i sauted garlic and shallots in butter. added a bit of broth. some tomato paste. & lots of fresh herbs from my garden.
served with focaccia bread and sparkling wine. i'm anxiously looking forward to the next harvest in a few days.
