We’ve long known that a well-stocked pantry is essential for effortless meal prep but we’ve found that to be tested and practically amplified during the pandemic. Never before have I been more attuned to what I had in my kitchen. Now that way of life has become the norm. And why not? Versatile staples like beans canned vegetables tinned fish pasta rice and more can be quickly transformed into a satisfying meal on a hectic weeknight that can form the backbone of a culinary adventure or save the day when unexpected guests drop by. But a thoughtfully curated pantry isn’t just about convenience; it’s also about unlocking creativity and expanding your culinary horizons without always relying on fresh ingredients. Of the countless shelf-stable gems that fill my pantry one item has earned its place as the cornerstone of countless meals. I’m talking of course about canned tomatoes. These unassuming tins may not look like much but they’re the building blocks of some of the most satisfying dishes in my repertoire. Here's why they deserve a top spot on your shopping list.
