Need to make meals that are simple yet delicious on busy work days? Here are six store-bought sauces to stock up on, to make versatile meals packed with flavour.
Having a tiny jar of pesto in your pantry is perfect to instantly spruce up flatbreads, sandwiches, noodles and even breakfast eggs.
Stashing away a jar or two of canned tomato sauce is ideal for when you want to make pasta, soups, stews, slow-cooked curries and more.
This Middle-Eastern sauce pairs well with all sorts of grilled meats and veggies, while also doubling up as a good option for creamy salad dressings.
A good-quality, spicy salsa enlives and brings instant flavour to breakfast wraps, to use as a spread for avocado toast and also to enjoy with tacos.
Although not exactly a 'sauce', stocking up on a jar of smooth, dark chocolate ganache is the perfect way to deal with random sugar cravings and spoon some over ice cream.
From slathering it over chicken or tossing a chickpea salad with a couple of spoonfuls, a spicy harissa sauce is the shortcut to maximum flavour.
