Made yesterday. It's an idea: amounts are variable! I have no idea whether it should be called a passata but never mind.
One comment: because the first chilli I used seemed mild, I bunged in two and didn't seed them. Er - let's just say next time I will take out the seeds!!!!!
I used:
Loads of flavoursome tomatoes. Enough to fill a good sized roasting dish. Cut into wodges and cut out any 'bad bits' but keep the cores, etc, for flavour.
2 medium onions, peeled and chunked
some celery, cut into chunks
olive oil - it's a slow roasting thing so OO is fine.
2 bay leaves, torn into bits
some dried mixed herbs (or whatever from the garden)
Some garlic.
2 chillies
a good pinch of sugar
a sloosh of balsamic vinegar
some sea salt
(and anything else you fancy - if I had some wine I would add some, but I don't)
Put the lot in a good sized roasting dish and stir around until everything is coated with the oil.
Place in a show oven and roast until all soft and gooey. Cover with foil if necessary.
Push through a fine sieve or mouli. Check seasonings and adjust. Freeze in sensible sized portions (or use straight away because it may be very hot the way I made it but it is so gorgeous!)
