theweaselkingI'm making slow-cooker chicken tikka masala. It's just gone in the cooker, and it smells AMAZING. Full recipe later if it's actually as good as it smells.
(Audience question: Due to the recipe requiring 1L of crushed tomatoes and yet them coming only in 780 ml cans[1], I have leftover crushed tomatoes. What should I do with those?)
[1]: And in "whole tomatoes that you then crush yourself you prepared-ingredient heathen", yes, but I'm a prepared-ingredient heathen, remember?

Beef Stew.
Often I only need half of the freaking can so I end up sticking the rest in tupperware and plan to use it within 2 days (to be safe).
Edit: Nuke cheese and can of chili and throw in crushed tomatoes for a good chip dip.

Date: 2012-09-23 10:40 pm (UTC)2 to 3 ripe avocados
crushed tomatoes to taste
some garlic
Tabasco to taste and/or chili (dried or fresh) of your fancy, to taste
salt, sugar
powdered onion (dry, so it sucks up juices), or fresh mild onion
Whirr together in a blender. This is not exact science, it is a whole lot of "oh that seems like a good amount" thing. Results enough green gloop for four moderate eaters.

Date: 2012-09-23 10:40 pm (UTC)I have been known to just ziploc left-over tomato products and freeze them as they are for later use in sauces or soups.
mckenzee has it right though, cook somehow first, and then freeze. preserves the flavor profile better*, IME.
*hmm. I wonder why that is? searchy time!
