Tomato Paste

24 recipes 1 guide

Tomato paste concentrates tomato flavor, adds body, and gives braises, sauces, and stews a deeper red color. Cook it briefly in the oil or rendered fat until it darkens slightly and smells sweet before adding liquid; this removes its raw, metallic edge. The common mistake is scorching it, which makes the entire dish bitter.
