Roma Tomato: Meaty, Rich, Sauce-Ready
The plum tomato built for sauces, salsas, and more.
LESS WATER, MORE FLAVOR
Roma Tomato, Built for Rich Flavor
Roma tomatoes bring a meaty, low-moisture flesh and rich, well-balanced flavor that concentrates beautifully in sauces, salsas, and slow-cooked dishes. Their firm structure also makes them ideal for dicing and fresh preparations. At Latin Specialties, we source Roma tomatoes for consistent quality and flavor, case after case.
Meaty, rich, and sauce-ready—Roma tomato brings flavor that concentrates beautifully.
Roma Tomatoes,The Red Base of the Mexican Kitchen
Meaty, low in seeds and made for sauces and rice.
Classic side recipe
Arroz Rojo (Mexican Red Rice)
Rice toasted until golden and cooked in a tomato, onion and garlic broth: the side dish of every Mexican table.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 ripe Latin Specialties Roma Tomatoes
- ¼ Latin Specialties Onion
- 1 clove Latin Specialties Garlic
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 tbsp oil
- ½ cup peas and diced carrots (optional)
- Salt, to taste
Method
- Rinse the rice, drain very well and fry in the oil over medium heat until it turns light golden and sounds sandy, about 5 minutes.
- Blend the tomatoes, onion and garlic with ½ cup of the broth. Strain over the rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Add the remaining 1 ½ cups of broth, the vegetables and salt. Bring to a boil, cover and cook on low heat for 18 to 20 minutes.
- Rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
TipCount the tomato puree as part of the liquid: too much broth is the main reason rice turns out mushy.
