KATE'S KITCHEN
Roasted Tomato Marinara Sauce with Garlic & Oregano
10 lbs. fresh tomatoes
16 whole, peeled, large garlic cloves
½ C. extra virgin olive oil
½ C. dry red wine
6 T. fresh oregano leaves
2 medium onions, roughly chopped
1 T. kosher salt
2 tsp. black pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Get out a large roasting pan. I use a big stainless steel All Clad (like for roasting a turkey). Wash the tomatoes.
Depending on the type of tomato, you may need to cut out the core first, as with large Beefsteak or Heirloom types. Then, cut tomatoes into large pieces, probably quarters or eighths. Don't cut the pieces too small. Big chunks are good. The smaller the pieces are the faster they will roast. Place tomatoes in the roasting pan; add garlic cloves, oil, wine or broth, oregano, onion, salt and pepper. Toss with your hands. Place pan in the oven and roast until tomatoes have reduced and are starting to get a few black edges. The pan should still have some juices, not be dry. Depending on your oven it should take 45-60 minutes. Stir half way through. Remove pan from oven, set on the stove top and allow to cool until you can handle it. Carefully pour the roast tomatoes into a food processor with a steel blade and pulse 5-6 times. The sauce it ready to serve, or cool completely to refrigerate, freeze or process for canning.

THE LAST WORD
As our 10 year anniversary approached and I began to reflect on all my blessings. I think back to the beginning when it was just me; long before I had an office, or a staff, or a warehouse, or a beautiful new showroom. I think about that one customer who was willing to take a chance on me, and that's all it took - one customer who had faith.
I find myself humbled by the idea that I have created something that is now much bigger than me and how it affects so many lives. I have a dedicated and professional staff who care deeply about their work and this business. I have a wonderful and long list of customers who continue to put their faith in us to take good care of them before and after the sale.
It is said that success is determined by the people with whom you surround yourself. I find this to be very true! I feel honored to stand beside my staff and to shake the hands of customers who look to us for guidance and knowledge.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this 10 year anniversary possible. I look forward to the next 10 years!
Experience higher living!
