Hey all! Bri here sharing the first recipe of the blog! This recipe was given to me by my mom, but I definitely made some alterations ;) Ingredients 5 med/large heirloom tomatoes (1.5 lbs) boiled and peeled 5 green onions coarsely chopped 13 garlic cloves 1/4 cup fresh basil finely chopped 1/4 cup unsalted butter 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp garam masala 2 cups vegetable stock (original recipe at the bottom) *** Peeling the tomatoes: Boil the tomatoes for about 4-5 minutes. Remove them from the pot and set them aside to cool. Once you can reasonably handle them (don't burn your fingers!), peel the skin off and slice them into quarters. Preparing everything else: Chop up the fresh basil. Don't worry about cutting finesse for these ingredients at this stage because everything will be blended together at the end. You may notice that my 1/4 cup of basil is rather full... I think it technically came to 2/3 cup. W
