Heston Blumenthal doesn't do ordinary. Far from it, in fact. His partnership with Waitrose has seen him produce snail porridge, popping candy chocolate cake and malted milk and marmalade ice cream. His latest offering is yet another off-the-wall product. Well, to be honest it's a complete re-invention of the humble tomato sauce.
Inspired by the brilliant hangover cure, the Bloody Mary, the Michelin-starred chef has used a base of passata, and blended it with dashi (Japanese stock), creamed horseradish, balsamic vinegar, Worcester-style sauce and dark muscovado sugar to create his Spicy Mary Tomato Sauce. It’s rich, thick, not as sweet as normal ketchup and has a smoky, barbecue taste with a kick from the spices.
The Heston from Waitrose sauces are on introductory offer of £1.11 (RRP £1.49) at Waitrose.
