Open the can and drain any excess liquid if preferred, though the juice can also be incorporated for added flavor and moisture. Add them directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stews. They can be sautéed with onions and garlic to build a flavor foundation for Italian-inspired dishes. For baked goods like casseroles, they provide moisture and a burst of tomato taste. They are also excellent added to chili or braised meats.
