Jardin Bio Double Tomato Paste Tube
What it is
This is a concentrated paste made from ripe tomatoes, processed to remove most of the water content. It comes in a convenient tube for easy dispensing. The double concentration means it has a more intense tomato flavor and a thicker consistency compared to regular tomato paste. It is a staple ingredient for adding depth and richness to many dishes.
How people cook with it
Tomato paste is a versatile ingredient used to build flavor in a wide range of savory recipes.
- Sauce base
- Soup enrichment
- Marinade component
- Stew thickener
To use, simply squeeze the desired amount of paste directly into your cooking pot. It can be added early in the cooking process to bloom its flavor, especially when sautéing aromatics like onions and garlic. For a richer taste, you can lightly fry the paste for a minute or two before adding liquids. It dissolves easily into sauces, stews, and braises, providing a concentrated tomato essence. The tube packaging makes it simple to add just a little or a lot, depending on your recipe's needs.
How it differs from similar foods
Double concentrated tomato paste is significantly thicker and more intensely flavored than single concentrated versions. This means you often need less of it to achieve the same depth of tomato taste. Its reduced water content also contributes to a smoother texture in finished dishes.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking to enhance the savory notes in their meals will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the tube upright in the refrigerator. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent drying out. It should remain fresh for several weeks when stored properly, allowing you to use it gradually for multiple recipes.
