Tomato sauce is secret super ingredient - you can use it to enhance and enrich many recipes!

A squirt of tomato sauce can add a sweetness and richness to a casserole, gravy, curry, or a savoury pie filling (not creamy ones!). For casseroles and gravies, you can also experiment with barbecue sauce.
Add a small squirt of tomato sauce to tomato puree, along with some mixed herbs and a dash of olive oil, before spreading onto your pizza base before adding your toppings. Depending on your toppings, barbecue sauce can also be used here, too.
Mix tomato ketchup with soy sauce, garlic powder and a pinch of chilli powder and use to coat chicken pieces or strips of pork belly before roasting in the oven.
In small quantities (a couple of tablespoons or less), tomato sauce can be used as a substitute for tomato puree in many dishes. In larger quantities the vinegar flavour will take over, so be careful.
