Isaac’s Roasted Tomato Sauce for Pizza

Roasting the tomatoes in a wood-fired oven adds an extra je ne sais quoi. A blazing hot conventional oven also works well. Choose very ripe tomatoes.

A mouli legume is the preferred utensil here. You can use a plastic sieve if you don’t have one, but it’s pretty laboursome. A mouli legume is not expensive. Like an oyster knife, it may sit in your cupboard unused for months on end but when you need it, you really need it.
