Ingredients

Monini Originale Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 pints (about 650 grams) cherry tomatoes
1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 small garlic head, halved crosswise
1 bunch basil
1 bunch thyme
1 red chile, optional
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk, soy cream, or heavy cream
1/2 cup vegetable stock, plus more as needed

Preparation

Heat the oven to 480°F (250°C).
Drizzle some Monini Originale Extra Virgin Olive Oil into a deep baking dish. Add in the onion, garlic (cut side down), basil and thyme, chile, and tomatoes. Drizzle more olive oil on top, plus a big sprinkle of salt and pepper. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the tomatoes are slightly charred.
Let cool for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme. Add the rest of the ingredients to a blender, along with the coconut milk and vegetable stock. Remove the little plug from the blender lid, then cover the lid with a kitchen towel and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
Serve with a piece of buttered toast or a grilled cheese sandwich.
