Instructions
-
Preheat a grill to medium heat (350-375F) and oil the grates.
-
Combine olive oil with salt and pepper. Halve tomatoes and brush their cut sides with some of this mixture, reserving the remaining olive oil.
-
Grill tomatoes cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until browned and skins loosen, then set aside to cool.
-
Once cooled, place a mesh strainer over a bowl. Working over the bowl, remove and discard most skins and seeds from the tomatoes, reserving the collected juices.
-
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté shallots until translucent (about 2 minutes), then add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
-
Transfer the sautéed mixture, tomatoes, reserved juices, basil, Worcestershire, Tabasco, and the remaining olive oil to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
