Sacla Oven Roasted Tomatoes with Chilli
What it is
Sacla Oven Roasted Tomatoes with Chilli are plump, ripe tomatoes that have been slow-roasted with a touch of chilli. This process concentrates their natural sweetness and adds a gentle warmth. They are preserved in a rich olive oil, making them ready to use straight from the jar. The tomatoes retain a pleasant texture, offering a burst of flavour that is both sweet and slightly spicy.
How people cook with it
These versatile tomatoes can elevate a variety of dishes, adding depth and a touch of Italian-inspired flavour.
- Tossed with pasta
- Spread on bruschetta
- Mixed into salads
- Served alongside grilled meats
Simply drain the tomatoes from their oil and add them to your cooking. They are wonderful stirred into hot pasta dishes, where the residual heat will warm them through and release their flavour into the sauce. For a quick appetizer, spread them on toasted bread. They also make a vibrant addition to green salads or can be served as a flavourful side to roasted or grilled chicken, fish, or lamb. The oil they are packed in can also be used to add flavour to dressings or other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh roasted tomatoes, these are pre-prepared and preserved, offering convenience. The slow roasting intensifies their sweetness more than sun-dried tomatoes, and the addition of chilli provides a subtle heat that is often absent in plain roasted varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient way to add a burst of flavour to everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion. Ensure the tomatoes remain submerged in their oil to maintain their quality and flavour. They will keep well in the refrigerator for several days.
