Loads of tins of tomatoes

[mouse4702]

......any suggestions? (no not that).  I tend to buy them when I see them cheap, and have about 12 tins.  I need the cupboard space!  Has anyone a recipe using tinned toms?

Crikey Moses!  That's what you call a substitution!

Sorry, Frederick - but that is the weirdest Spaghetti Bolognese sauce recipe I have ever read! Carrots, Peas, Cayenne Pepper, Chili Sauce, Mint and Olives. Really?

Tinned tomatoes can be used in all sorts of recipes - Bolognese Sauce, Chili, Casseroles. I also do something where you tip your tin of toms into a saucepan, season well with salt and pepper, then add lots of slices of Cheddar Cheese. Let it simmer slowly until the cheese has melted (you can add garlic and courgettes as well, if you like). Then serve with crusty bread (and butter, if you're like me) to soak up the yummy juices).

There is a Slim*ing World recipe for a speedy tomato soup - that tastes really nice.  I think of it as a cheat's version of soup due to the convenience foods.  Now I know the picked onion sounds an odd ingredient, but it definitely needs it.  I tried it with and without and it is much better with the pickled onion blitzed into it

1 tin of carrots (drained)
1 tin baked beans
1 chicken oxo or bovril stock cube
