3 Tablespoon tomatoes, diced
1½ Tablespoon (20 g) fresh basil leaves, chopped

3. Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.

5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Chef's Notes

When caramelising onion, use a medium-low heat and allow the onions to cook for 20 minutes or until golden-brown. When roasting potatoes, place a sheet pan in the oven to preheat the pan. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl or skillet. Then pour the potato mixture on the preheated pan to cook. For meat lovers, toss cooked, chopped bacon with the vegetables. You can also substitute the bacon drippings for half of the olive oil in the dressing.
