3 unexpected ideas with canned tomatoes
Canned tomatoes must be the hardest-working pantry item out there. From spag bol to minestrone and curries, the humble tomato can do so much. For those times who want something a little different, here are some of our favourite unexpected ways to use canned tomatoes.
1. Easy tomato shakshuka
Whether you’re eating it for breakfast, brunch or dinner, shakshuka is the ultimate comforting all-in-one dish. We also love it for its riffable quality: you can swap out the chorizo for bacon (or leave it out entirely), crumble over feta or even add crispy roast chickpeas for texture.

2. Potato bread, tomato soup and roasted raclette
There’s a reason this tomato soup was our May cover star and it’s all we want to eat in this chilly weather. If you look at the soup’s ingredients, you’ll notice a very concise list. If you’ve got tins of tomatoes in the cupboard, the work is half done.

3. Easy tomato-hake curry
We’ve all been there - work finishes late and you’ve got a hankering for a curry, and in the time it would take to wait for a delivery to arrive, you could have this warming curry on the table. Feel free to play around with add-ins here, such as baby spinach or peas or swap out the fish for chicken breasts (just adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure they’re cooked through).
