Ktc Plum Tomatoes 2.5kg

Description

KTC Plum Tomatoes are the large-format tinned tomatoes that every Nigerian and West African kitchen runs through in volume. At 2.5kg, this is the bulk catering tin that goes into making the rich, deeply reduced tomato and pepper base that underpins jollof rice, party stew, fried rice, egusi soup, and virtually every tomato-based Nigerian dish. Plum tomatoes have a lower water content than standard tinned tomatoes, meaning they reduce faster, concentrate more intensely, and deliver a fuller, richer stew base with less cooking time.

How to use

• Blend with tatashe (red bell pepper), scotch bonnet, and onion to create the classic Nigerian stew and jollof rice base.
• Fry the blended mixture in oil over medium-high heat, stirring regularly, until it reduces by half and the oil rises to the top — this is the signature stage of Nigerian stew preparation.
• Season with Jumbo cubes, salt, and your preferred spices before adding protein and water to finish.

Storage

• Store unopened in a cool, dry cupboard. Once opened, transfer unused tomatoes to a sealed container, refrigerate, and use within 3 days.

Frequently asked

Can I use these for Nigerian stew without blending?

For Nigerian stew and jollof, blending is strongly recommended for a smooth, even sauce base. Use a blender or food processor to combine with peppers and onions before frying.
