Tomato Puree
Whenever you buy tomatoes in bulk , It is best to make puree and freeze it. It comes handy when you are on a hurry.
I pass it through a sieve to get silky smooth puree. But this is completely optional.
I have also observed that this puree gives tastier gravy than freshly made puree.
Add these cubes along with fresh tomatoes while making pizza/pasta sauce for an intensified taste.
I freeze it in ice tray. And then the frozen cubes go into a ziplock.
