Advantages: good value

Disadvantages: none

I always have a tin or two of tomatoes in my store cupboard often the te4sco value plum tomatoes, .They are packaged in a tin with value blue stripe wrapper a picture of a big tomato on it too.

Tinned Tomatoes are excellent for dieters contain 0.1 g just a trace per 100g 2.9g of carbohydrates of which 2.7 are sugars only 17kcal per 100g. Tesco value tomatoes contain tomatoes 60% tomato juice and citric acid
Therr are 5 big tomatoes in the tin I opened today.

I have other tinned tomatoes in the past and they are not much better than Tesco's value particularly when you are adding them to a casserole or making a pasta sauce value whole tomatoes . Tesco produce a similar tin of chopped tomatoes too

These tomatoes can be used in many ways, heated as they are as a vegetable no I do not like them this way can be used to make a tomato topping for a pizza base or to make a simple tomato pasta or added to mince spaghetti bolognaise.
I have some stewing beef
And am going to make a large beef casserole to last me 2 or 3 days, I ill curry it tomorrow .I have added tomatoes to the casserole I find these value tomatoes excellent to add to a casserole makes it tasty.

These tomatoes can be stored in the fridge for 2 days after opening if in a non-metallic container, useful if you are on your own and only use half a tin
These tomatoes are excellent value ideal good for saving a few pennies .A tin of these costs 33p at tesco today
.
Here is what I've cooked for tonight
2 lb /900g stewing steak, 2onions, 6 carrots, 12oz mushrooms 7 medium potatoes, I beef stock cube a tin of red kidney beans and yes my tin of Value tomatoes. Oh and a few mixed herbs.
I did not worry about browning the meat today I just threw everything into my big casserole dish and put it in the oven at 170 c it will cook in about 2 ½ -3 hours the longer and slower the better. I added the potatoes today sometimes its good to cook and serve them on their own, but I am being lazy today. When nearly finished I shall thicken the gravy with some gravy powder.
This stew can be adapted to your own tastes it is good eaten with a hunk of fresh bread and it will go a long way. I shall maybe have some reheated tomorrow as casserole or maybe add some curry paste to it and have a portion left to freeze.
Sorry I packed my recipe books away and can not give you a tomato pasta recipe but you will find a lot of recipe books have a basic recipe in. thanks for reading I must go check on dinner now its beginning to smell

Summary: A tin of value whole tomatoes
