To use, simply open the can. You can use the whole tomatoes directly, or gently crush them with your hands or a fork for a more broken-down texture. The juice can be incorporated into your cooking to add moisture and tomato flavor. They are excellent for simmering in sauces, adding to braises, or incorporating into baked dishes. Their natural sweetness and acidity complement a wide range of ingredients, from herbs and spices to meats and vegetables. They are a foundational ingredient for many Italian and Mediterranean-inspired recipes.
