Help needed finding Tomato Frito

Sainsbuggers does different types of passata, with herbs, onions, garlic, peppers etc in it.

You could try making your own - fry an onion in quite a bit of olive oil, add a couple of cloves of garlic and fry until translucent. Add a tin of tomatoes and some oregano and bring to a simmer for about 20 mins. Take it off the heat and add a large handful of shredded basil, some salt and some pepper. Blitz it with a stick blender (do it in a pot rather than a frying pan), and if it is too thick, add a bit of vegetable stock. It's delicious!

Thanks girls..... those sound lovely but I fear, too much work for my unskilled kitchen hands!! xx

I didnt think opening a carton of the stuff and pouring it out was too much work!

Honestly, it's piss easy - you don't even need a stick blender, just chop the onion up finer.?

Perhaps I wil give it a try then as I cant find it anywhere. It had a kinda sweet taste to it.

Add a pinch of sugar to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes- not too much though!

Thanks I may just give it a try, these things are often tastier when you make the effort to make them yourself I am just lazy!!

I've got it from Tesco in the past. Don't know whereabouts in the store though because I shop on the internet.

Morrisons still stock it.

I'm sure after 4 years the OP managed to make some tomato sauce successfully...

I hope so!
