- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will help you achieve a smooth and creamy spread. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can mash the tomatoes and garlic with a fork or potato masher.
- Season to taste: Once the spread is made, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
