Cooking Challenge - try ONE new recipe from your (many?) cookbooks!

I’m planning on trying trying this from Six Seasons: A New Way With Vegetables, but I 'm using “crema Salvadoreña”.

Also trying “slow roasted tomato sauce”, and “roasted fennel and red onions” from Vegetables Every Day by Jack Bishop.

The fennel will go with my usual “it’s-Tuesday-it-must-be-Pacific Northwest Grilled Salmon” from The New Basics, definitely not a new recipe for me.

It calls for three medium red onions to 1 large ( 1 1/4 lb) fennel bulb, which seems like a lot of onion.

Here are the tomatoes for the sauce before they went in the oven.

and two and a half hours later

The basil was supposed to come later. Oops.

And some of it passed through the mill. I should have had pieces of similar thickness.

It tastes remarkably sweet!
