Hunt's Petite Diced Tomatoes with Garlic & Olive Oil
What it is
These are diced tomatoes that have been pre-seasoned with garlic and olive oil. The tomatoes are cut into small, uniform pieces, making them easy to incorporate into various dishes. The added garlic and olive oil provide a foundational flavor profile that can enhance many recipes without requiring separate additions of these ingredients. They come in a convenient can, ready to be used.
How people cook with it
This product is a versatile pantry staple that can be used in a wide range of savory cooking applications.
- Sauces
- Soups
- Stews
- Casseroles
To use, simply open the can and drain any excess liquid if desired, though the infused liquid can also add flavor. The petite diced tomatoes can be added directly to simmering sauces, soups, or stews. They cook down and meld with other ingredients, contributing their tomato base and the subtle notes of garlic and olive oil. For baked dishes like casseroles, they can be mixed in with other components before baking.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain diced tomatoes, this variety already includes garlic and olive oil, saving a step in preparation. The petite cut means the pieces are smaller and cook down more quickly than larger diced varieties, offering a smoother texture in finished dishes.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to add seasoned tomato flavor to their meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused portion to a suitable storage container. Cover tightly and refrigerate. It is best to use the remaining tomatoes within a few days to maintain freshness and flavor.
