Crushed Tomatoes Pack Organic

Do these chopped tomatoes contain additives?

One only: citric acid, an acidity regulator. The rest is peeled chopped tomatoes at 60% and tomato juice, from organic farming in Italy. Kazidomi adds no sugar, no salt, no preservative and no flavouring to this 400 g tin, which is ready to use straight from the cupboard.

Chopped tomatoes or peeled tomatoes: which should I take?

The Kazidomi chopped ones arrive already cut: a quicker sauce, an even texture, handy for pasta or lasagne on a weeknight. The peeled ones come whole and get broken down with a spoon or a blender depending on the texture you want. The peeled version carries no citric acid.

How do I make a sauce with this tin?

Soften garlic or onion in olive oil, pour in the Kazidomi chopped tomatoes, season with salt, then let it reduce over a low heat for twenty to thirty minutes. Basil goes in at the end of cooking. The 400 g tin covers two to three servings of pasta, depending on appetite.

How long do they keep once the tin is open?

Three days in the fridge, provided the contents are tipped into a non-metallic container. A started tin left as it is gives the Kazidomi tomatoes a metallic taste. What is left over freezes very well in portions and goes straight into a sauce or a stew afterwards.

What are they for in the kitchen?

Pasta sauces, lasagne, chilli, curries, ratatouille and slow-cooked dishes. Kazidomi chopped tomatoes stand in for a purée whenever you want to keep some pieces. They also make the base of a chilled soup, blended with cucumber, pepper and a splash of vinegar.
