Loyd Grossman Tomato and Basil Cooking Sauce, 350 g Jar (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Great with spaghetti bolognaise, this versatile sauce can also be used with pretty much any pasta dish, giving great results every time. This was one of the few sauces that specify to add meat, which given the time that takes, you might as well add a tin of chopped tomatoes instead. It tastes cloying with no complexity or depth, bar a hint of musty herb flavour. You can do so much better at the price. As I am a big fan of his sauces, I have decided to give recipes and review on two of his most popular sauces, Tomato and Basil, and Tikka Masala. We would not recommend having excessive amounts of these sauces however since they are very high in sugar, with their tomato and chilli version and tomato and basil version having 6g of sugar for just 100g. Loyd’s Sauce Syn Values Add the tuna steaks to the hot pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side for medium rare tuna (cook a little longer if preferred) remove from the pan and keep warm.

Heat the oil in a medium heavy based pan over a medium to high heat. Season the beef medallions and carefully add them to the pan, sealing all over and cooking until cooked to the desired amount. Remove them from the pan and set aside to rest. Add a little more oil if required to the pan, then add the shallots. Cook for a couple of minutes, add the wine and the thyme leaves. Increase the heat to reduce the wine to a couple of tablespoons, add the sauce and the parsley. Heat through and serve over the beef medallions. Serve with your favourite salad. Loyd Grossman's have a huge range of sauces on offer with varying syn values, we’ve listed the rest of their syns down below to help you out. The other reference intakes state that your consumption of total fat should be less than 70g, saturated fat no more than 20g, carbohydrate should be at least 260g, total sugars about 90g, protein 50g and salt less than 6g per day to maintain health. These were drawn up with the average female in mind. The figure for sugars looks high because it includes all sugar, such as those found in tomatoes, not just added sugar.No added sugar but still very rich – just a bit too heavy handed with the herbs to eat straight; better with meat. Gloopy, but looks rich. There is some balance to the flavour; it tastes industrially produced but not terrible at this price. That’s why we go through a rigorous process to find the correct ingredients to create our sauces. We use Mediterranean tomatoes, ensuring they’re always the right colour, flavour and texture, and Sicilian Lemons, to lift flavour profiles for a fresher, more prominent taste. Reference intakes are not intended to be targets so they are different from the old measure of “recommended daily allowance”. Reference intakes are simply meant to give you a clearer picture of how much you are eating. It’s a way of benchmarking.

Is Loyd Grossman Tomato And Chilli Sauce High In Syns? Can I Have Their Tomato Basil Sauce On Slimming World? Very mellow. It tastes posh, if a little bit confected. Comes out mild when teamed with pasta; some nice lumps.

Italian Cooking Sauces

The chilli is lovely but there is not much else going on. Some sweetness but not enough tomato flavour. Very parmesan-y, although the sweetness of the tomato comes through. Yummy enough to eat out of the jar but you’d have to like the taste of parmesan.

Loyd Grossman's tomato and chilli sauce has 3 syns for 100g and 2.5 syns for their no-sugar version, making it a great low syn pasta sauce. Their tomato sauce with just basil on the slimming world has 3 syns for 100g. Maybe you could make some at the weekend and freeze it, I suggested tentatively. Her look could have blast-chilled boiling pasta at 10 paces. “The freezer,” she told me, “is full. Full of frozen pizza.”To serve, place a ring of potato (use a pastry cutter as a mould) onto each plate and top with French beans. Place rice in saucepan. (Uncle Ben’s have special boil in the bag rices which are easier to use when cooking.) Cook rice for 10-12 mins. Quite a lot of tomato skin in this, and the sauce has a dried herb flavour while being quite sharp and vinegary. It tastes thin and metallic, not very balanced on its own, but could be good with very rich meat. Italians buy jars of tomato sauce too, I discovered on a recent trip to Emilia-­Romagna, the region regarded as gourmet even by the Italians – home of Parma ham, Parmesan Reggiano and ragu Bolognese. There were plenty of jars in the shops, albeit all made in Italy (whereas much of ours, including the best-selling Dolmio, is made in the Netherlands or elsewhere). I asked my Italian guide if she would ever buy one. “For sure,” she told me, “when I’ve run out of my mum’s home-made version.” In our guide below we will discuss why Loyd’s tomato pasta sauce is so low in syns, some syn values, low syn alternatives to this tomato sauce and our best SW tomato and basil recipe.
