Tomato Paste Sauce
A source-preserved tomato-paste sauce recipe with olive oil, onion, garlic, water or vegetable broth, dried herbs, and seasonings.
Ingredients
- Olive oil 30 g
- Onion 100 g
- Garlic cloves 20 g
- Tomato paste 150 g
- Water or vegetable broth 500 g
- Dried basil 2 g
- Dried oregano 2 g
- Salt 5 g
- Black pepper 2 g
- Sugar 5 g
Method
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in the tomato paste to the saucepan, mixing well with the onions and garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes, then gradually add the water or vegetable broth, stirring continuously to ensure the tomato paste fully dissolves into a smooth sauce.
- Add the dried basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. If the tomatoes are acidic, a bit of sugar can be added to balance out the flavors. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer over low heat, allowing it to cook uncovered for about 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally. The sauce will thicken and the flavors will concentrate.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Your tomato paste sauce is now ready to be served with your favorite pasta, used as a pizza base, or incorporated into other dishes.
