That little can or tube of tomato paste holds some serious flavor. But with great power comes great responsibility. (via basically)
We’re not going to beat around the bush here: Tomato paste is kind of weird. The putty-like tomato gloop looks like something you’d find in a hobby shop or the dental care aisle of your drug store. Whether it comes in a little can or a tiny tube , tomato paste can be hard to understand. But understand you should, becauseQ: What is tomato paste? A: Tomato paste is concentrated tomatoes.
Yep, it's really just tomatoes that have been cooked down, then had the seeds and skins strained out, and then cooked down some more until it becomes super dense and, well, paste-like . Tomatoes have a lot of bright acidity and umami flavor in their raw state, and when all of that pesky water has been cooked out the result is packed with the stuff. As is the case for most concentrated ingredients, a little can go a long way, which is why the cans are considerably smaller than can of sauce or crushed tomatoes. Some tomato paste is labeled as “double-concentrated,” which obviously means that the tomato is even more intense. A few ounces of the stuff packs a punch.
You’ll definitely see seasoned versions of tomato paste at the store. Whether it’s basil, oregano, garlic, or any of the other usual suspects that get added to the tomatoes, it’s best to just skip those cans entirely.You’ll get fresher, more robust flavor and a general feeling of happiness. And when it comes to a brand, we’re all about a can or tube of Mutti tomato paste, which happens to be double-concentrated. If you can’t find that at the store , a can of Hunt’s will do the job just fine..
