Tomato paste
Tomato paste is a thick, rich condiment made from ripe, juicy tomatoes. It is a plant-based ingredient that comes from – you guessed it – tomatoes! The tomatoes are cooked down to a concentrated form, resulting in a deep, intense flavour that can enhance many dishes.
To make tomato paste, tomatoes are first washed and chopped before being cooked down to remove the water content. The remaining mixture is strained to remove seeds and skin, then cooked further until it becomes a thick paste. This paste is then packaged and ready for use in various recipes.
Tomato paste is a common ingredient in many dishes like pasta sauces, soups, stews, and casseroles. Its role in food preparation is to add a rich, umami flavour and a hint of sweetness. It also helps thicken sauces and provides a vibrant red colour to the final dish. When you see tomato paste on a food label, you can be sure that it's there to enhance the taste and texture of the product.
