- Simmer for Pasta Sauce: Sauté garlic and onions, add the tomatoes, season with herbs (basil, oregano), and simmer for 20–30 minutes. For extra punch, toss in chili flakes or anchovies.
- Base for Stews & Braises: Add to meat or vegetable stews for a rich, tomato-forward base. Works well in Filipino dishes like kaldereta or afritada.
- Soup Starter: Stir in broth, onions, and unsalted butter for an effortless tomato soup. Blend for a creamy finish or leave chunky for texture.
