  • 2 lbs. ripe tomatoes cored and cut into chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and cut into chunks
  • 1 anaheim pepper seeded and cut into chunks
  • 1 cucumber peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks

  • cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place tomatoes, red pepper, and anaheim pepper chunks on a large sheet pan prepared with cooking spray. Spray lightly with cooking spray, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
  • Combine tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, and shallot in a blender. Puree until smooth, at least 2 minutes. With motor running, add vinegar, water, and 2 tsp. salt.
