Ingredients

    2 large heads of garlic, papery overcoat removed but unpeeled
    3 lbs tomatoes (ideally plum or other meaty variety), halved
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 large white onion, diced
    1 large carrot, shredded

    6 oz tomato paste

Stir in the carrot and zucchini (along with any zucchini liquid) and cook until carrots begin to soften.
Add the beer, tomatoes, tomato paste, half the basil, thyme and paprika.
Squeeze in the roasted garlic cloves the cloves into the sauce.
