This is mellow and is on the sweet side, perhaps from the carrots used in the mix. It’s oddly gloopy, despite there being no starch listed as an ingredient, so maybe it’s from the starch in the carrots?

To serve, place a ring of potato (use a pastry cutter as a mould) onto each plate and top with French beans. My sauce wasn’t just ­deliciously savoury and appetisingly dark; it was also free from weird ­ingredients such as modified starch, which saves producers money (it’s cheaper than tomatoes) but has none of the lycopene. What’s more, its use marks products out as ultra-processed food (UPF), currently carrying the can for the national obesity crisis. Lots of umami oomph but that dried herb note is there, too. It tastes a tiny bit soapy on its own but works OK with the pasta. 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 heavy based frying pan. Season the salmon steak and seal the top and bottom. Remove them from the pan and place in a baking tray. Add the peppers and onions to the pan and cook oven a medium heat for a couple of minutes until they are starting to colour. Place on the baking tray with the salmon, and place into a preheated 170C oven for 15-20 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. While the salmon is cooking, reheat the salmon pan and add the wine. Reduce it down to a couple of tablespoons and add the sauce. Heat through, add the parsley. Place the salmon, peppers and onions on a plate and pour over the sauce. Serve immediately.To keep syns low in your pasta sauce, why not make your own tomato basil pasta sauce at home which is syn free? 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. So having half a jar of this pasta sauce will give you about 107kcal, which is about 5 per cent of 2,000. That’s where the 5 per cent comes from. Mix half of the sauce with the warm chopped potatoes ensuring that they are completely coated in sauce. 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.

To be fair, it’s more than a dash of colour and flavour: tomatoes are high in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may lower the risk of stroke and some cancers, and ­cooking the tomatoes makes the lycopene much more “bioavailable”, ie easy to absorb. Most of our lycopene comes from tomato sauce, juice and tinned tomatoes, so for once there’s a benefit to a can or jar over fresh. 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. Add you are tomatoes and the passata then bring the mix to a boil and simmer for around half an hour, add in the basil and balsamic vinegar right at the end.

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. Is Loyd Grossman Tomato And Chilli Sauce High In Syns?
