Intense bag-baked plum tomato with chilli flakes, by James Tanner
First in the series is this plum tomato sauce with a twist; a kick of chilli flakes. James shows you how to make this simple sauce by cooking it in a tinfoil bag, to lock in the intense flavour of the ingredients and create a truly versatile sauce. It can be used from everything to accompanying a pasta dish, or as a pizza base. Here James demonstrates how it can complement the flavour of delicious sauteed king prawns.
