Chef's Tips

Cooking tomato paste (until it darkens and caramelizes) develops a richer and more complex flavor. Sauté the tomato paste in oil and aromatics. Stir continuously and scrape the bottom of the pan to avoid burning. The caramelization reduces the acidity, develops sweetness, and builds umami.
