how do you say "crushed tomatoes"?
I am writing a translation of a recipe that calls fro crushed tomatoes in a can. I was wondering which verb "to crush" is correct in this context. Thank you!

Hi mdoukas,
I agree with Mountaingirl that this is probably the most common way of saying this, (I have also seen "tomates molidos" and "tomates machacados" used in recipes but much more infrequently) especially if you are looking for the canned variety. The only thing that I wanted to add was that if you are interested in cooking terminology, I thought that I would share these links with you. I have found these to be quite useful in the past myself.
Welcome to the forum!
From one cook to another..."trirturar" is what you want. "Crushed tomatoes" are "tomates triturados".
¡Buen provecho!
Tomates machacados.
What about una lata de puré de tomate. Search some pictures about puré de tomate and let me know if that's what you want.
