Heinz Tomato Frito
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heinz Tomato Frito is a product from the Heinz company. It is a tomato-based sauce with a hint of onions and garlic, but pureed into a form which can be used as a base or enjoyed simply for its own distinct and unique flavour.
What makes Tomato Frito different from any other passata is that the tomatoes are fried first, giving it a distinct flavour. It is very versatile, can can be used for many dishes, for example chilli, bolognese or lentil dishes. It also makes a great accompaniment - with a dash of Lea & Perrins sauce - to cooked pasta, particularly Tesco Four Cheese Tortellini.
Heinz Tomato Frito is a valued ingredient used by many cooks, for example, Delia Smith. She uses it in many recipes, for example Paprika Chicken ([1]) and Spanish Pork Stew ([2]). Indeed, Delia herself extolls the virtues of this versatile sauce in her books and on her website - see pages: [3]; and [4].
Heinz Tomato Frito can be difficult to obtain. However it is still stocked in some major supermarkets, including Morrisons.
