Ugly Tomatoes!!

We love roasted tomatoes but wanted one without a stuffing or breadcrumbs, for a more tomato flavor. I made this, let it slow roast. They are delicious, but when I first served them my family laughed at them. Now when anyone wants them they ask for the ugly tomato! Hence the name.

In a saucepan film the bottom with a bit of olive or any oil, add shallot and garlic and soften. Add all remaining ingredients except cheese and pepperoni, just bring to a simmer, spoon evenly over each tomato.

* Step 5

Sprinkle each tomato with 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, then put one slice of cheese on each tomato.Press 5 overlapping pepperonis firmly on each tomato.

* Step 6

Roast on a foil lined cookie sheet at 300°F for 2 hours until very tender but still intact. Serve in the dish it is cooked in. It will not transfer to a plate witout breaking. Enjoy.
