Crushed Tomatoes

8 recipes 3 guides

Crushed tomatoes give sauces, soups, and stews a thick tomato base with a texture between purée and diced tomatoes. They release liquid as they simmer, then reduce into a cohesive sauce while retaining some soft tomato pieces. The common mistake is adding them without checking seasoning or acidity; a long simmer concentrates both, so taste before finishing.
