Instructions

Preheat grill to medium-high or oven to 425°F
Halve tomatoes and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil
Grill cut-side down until charred and softened, about 5-7 minutes (or roast in oven for 25-30 minutes)
Transfer to food processor with remaining ingredients and pulse until desired consistency is reached – I like it a bit chunky
Simmer in a saucepan for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors.
