A Speciality of Tucci’s Kitchen is the Italian tradition of preserving vegetables in oil and/or vinegar for the winter.  We especially love making these because everyone can enjoy them, and they are a firm favourite with vegetarians!  They are a wonderful addition to any antipasti board adding colour and flavour all the year round.  Pair the flame grilled courgettes and UK sun dried tomatoes with buffalo mozarella on focaccia crisps for a succulent treat.  The red wine cabbage is a perfect compliment to smoked salmon or cheese.

The best thing about Tucci’s Kitchen preserves is that we use the highest quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil to fill the jars.  Once the vegetables are consumed (this might be faster than planned!) we recommend that you reserve the oil and use it for cooking and dressing salads.  Some of the preserves have been made with a generous amount of garlic and chilli which is perfect for stir frys or starting off a tomato sauce!
