You can add Gourmet Fresco Chopped Tomatoes directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stews. They break down further as they cook, melding their flavor with other ingredients. For a quick pasta sauce, simply heat them with garlic, onions, and herbs. They can also be incorporated into chili, curries, or baked dishes like lasagna. Their texture is ideal for dishes where you want distinct pieces of tomato.
