Chopped Tomatoes in Juice

Vine-ripened in Hawke's Bay and picked when perfectly ready, these tomatoes are chopped and blended in their own juices to bring you only the best.

Method

Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a medium/large saucepan. Add the onion and cook over a low heat until onion softens, stirring regularly.
Step 2
Add garlic and cook a further minute. Add Gregg's Ground Coriander, Gregg's Ground Cumin, Gregg's Chilli Flakes and Gregg's Ground Smoked Paprika and stir until the spices smell fragrant.
