Hello again,
Ever open a jar of tomato passata for a recipe, only to be left with half a jar sitting in the fridge, destined for the back of the shelf? Today, I'm sharing one of my favourite zero-waste kitchen hacks to make sure every last drop of that passata gets used!
It's a simple, game-changing trick. I just pour the leftover passata into an ice cube tray, cover it, and pop it into the freezer. Once the cubes are solid, I transfer them to a reusable bag. This way, you have perfect, ready-to-use portions of tomato passata anytime you need them! These little flavour cubes can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
Now, instead of a whole jar, you can grab just what you need for a quick pasta sauce, a soup base, or even to add a rich tomato flavour to a stew.
I hope this tip helps you reduce waste and makes your cooking a little easier!
