Ingredients
- roma tomatoes
- coarse salt

Instructions
- 1. Buy firm and ripe tomatoes, wash them well and cut them in half. 2. Spread them on a paneri on the base of which we have put a piece of tulle and salt them. ½ teaspoon per kilo of tomatoes is enough.3. Cover the tomatoes with a piece of cheesecloth and place the paneri in a sunny place. Leave it for 24 hours to let the water drain out. 4. Run the tomatoes through a vegetable mill to remove the skins.5. Put the pulp on a cotton cloth, tie it and hang it to remove the last of the water. When the water stops dripping, put the pulp in baking pans and put them in a sunny place.6. Stir during the day. 7. When well baked in the sun, fill sterile jars, leaving a 1 cm margin. Take care that there are no air gaps. 8. Cover the surface with olive oil. 9. Close the jars tightly and store them in a cool place.
Notes
- If you live in a city, it is better to put the pulp in the oven to dry at 120ο about.
- You can peel the tomatoes at the beginning of the process by dipping them in hot water and then in cold water.
- If you use large tomatoes, you should remove the seeds after cutting them in half.
