1 In a blender or food processor, throw in the garlic, olive oil, thyme, oregano, pepper flakes, and salt and pulse until that is all minced up. Grab the cans of tomatoes and drain off the extra liquid. (But save the liquid you drained off and use it in your next soup or to thin out some pasta sauce. WASTE NOT, WANT NOT, MOTHER ER.) Dump the canned tomatoes right into the blender. Run that er until the tomatoes are nice and broken down. Done. Just stick it in the fridge or freeze for later.
Make sure there isn’t a -ton of salt or any other seasoning in those tomatoes.
