{{Template:AdvancePreparation}}

This thick sauce originates from the Canary Islands and in particular the small island of Gomera. It is traditional to use a cheese such as a mature [[Queso de la Gomera cheese|La Gomera]], but any strong, hard cheese will be fine.

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to its highest setting.
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Arrange the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] in a [[Roasting tin|roasting tin]], cut side up.
| Drizzle the [[Oil|oil]] over them and lightly sprinkle with the [[Salt|salt]].
| Place in the [[Oven|oven]] for 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 150° C (300° F - gas 2), [fan oven 130° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour] and continue [[Roasting|roasting]] for a further 1½ hours, by which time the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] should have shrunk to half their original size.
| Allow the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] to cool thoroughly or even leave them in the [[Fridge|fridge]] overnight.
| Place the [[Garlic|garlic]], and [[Guindilla peppers|guindilla(s)]] in the TM bowl and process '''10 seconds / Speed 5'''.
| Scrape down the inside of the bowl and add the [[Cheese|cheese]].
| Process '''1 minute / Speed 5-10 progressively'''.
| Add the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] and the [[Stock|stock]] and [[Blend|blend]] at '''Speed 5''' until you have the consistency of a paste.
| Ensure the '''MC''' has open end upright and slowly pour the [[Oil|oil]] onto the lid of bowl, running at '''Speed 5''' until all the oil has been emulsified.
| Continue blending until you have the desired consistency - I like mine with a bit of texture although you can make it as smooth as you like.

===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Boiled potatoes|boiled potatoes]] or papas arrugados, [[Hard boiled eggs|hard boiled eggs]] or simply spread it on [[Bread|bread]] or toast. It can also be used as a [[Dip|dip]].
===Recipe source===
* The recipe is based on one in '''''Canarias - cocina tradicional''''' by Vicente Sanchez Araña (ISBN 9788444120157). It has been translated, adapted and converted for [[Thermomix]].
===Chef's notes===
I doubled the ingredients listed in the original recipe, because I am a pig. Also the [[Roasting|roasting]] of the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] was my idea, to add extra flavour, but there is no need to do so.
