What is Canned tomatoes with oil?
Canned tomatoes with oil are tomatoes preserved with oil, often ready to spoon into a dish without much preparation. They may be whole, chopped or crushed, and work as a convenient pantry ingredient when fresh tomatoes are out of season.
Use them in pasta sauces, soups, stews or casseroles; the tomato’s bright acidity is rounded by the oil. In Mediterranean-style cooking, they pair well with beans, vegetables, herbs and grains. They provide fibre and lycopene, and the oil helps the body absorb lycopene. Since some oil is already included, you can use less additional oil in the recipe for a lighter result.
