Cut and seed tomatoes. Toss with the 2 tablespoons olive oil, a generous pinch of sea salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast at 300 for 2 hours or until juices have been absorbed and tomatoes are a deep rich red. Allow to cool for a least 15 minutes.
Directions for the gazpacho:
Combine all ingredients (including roasted tomatoes) in a food processor and pulse on and off until just slightly chunky. Add tomato juice as needed to make a nice soup consistency. Taste and add sea salt and freshly ground pepper, as needed. Place in a storage container and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours or longer for flavors to meld.
Notes
Enjoy! I like to garnish with a bit of creme fraiche, some sliced avocado and a sprig of basil.
