Editors Review

The tomato saffron sauce is something most exotic, which you can serve for any personal moments. In fact, you can also use this as a comfort food, for the challenging moments of your life. The rich and thick tomato sauce mingled with the saffron flavor presents a heavenly taste to your appetite. It is a must try, provided you collect some fresh saffron from your nearby Asian stores.

Sungold (Hybrid) cherry tomatoes have a high brix reading as they were developed by the Japanese for sugar. Thy are like eating candy out of hnd in the candy an so prolific. They fruit early and continue until frosts. Great with safran for sure! Love affran with seafood. Also they make a lovely simple fresh tomato "sauce" when cut in half, with olive oil sauteed garlic and tossed wth angel hair pasta just until warm. Chiffonade of garden basil if you like.

Very interesting combination of tomato and Saffron. It looked so good that I might make it a bit thinner and have it as a soup :)
