The Best Recipes You Can Make with Organic Tomato Paste


Tomato paste is a versatile and essential ingredient that can elevate any dish with its rich, concentrated flavour. Made from ripe tomatoes that have been cooked down to remove water, the paste is often the secret weapon in countless recipes. When choosing a tomato paste, opting for an organic version, such as Originz tomato paste, ensures that you’re cooking with a product free from pesticides and full of natural goodness. Today, we’ll explore some of the best tomato paste recipes you can create, including an authentic Arabic tomato paste recipe that brings out the best in this ingredient.

Why Organic Tomato Paste?

Before diving into the recipes, it's essential to understand why organic tomato paste is the superior choice. Organic products, like those from Originz, are grown without synthetic pesticides, genetically modified organisms, or chemical fertilisers. This not only makes them better for the environment but also for your health. When you cook with organic tomato paste, you’re getting the pure, unadulterated taste of tomatoes, packed with nutrients and free from harmful additives.

Classic Tomato Sauce

One of the most straightforward yet delicious recipes using tomato paste is a classic tomato sauce. This sauce forms the base of many Italian dishes and is a staple in countless households.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons Originz tomato paste
  • 1 can of organic crushed tomatoes
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until soft and translucent.
  2. Stir in the Originz tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes to enhance its flavour.
  3. Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. For a richer flavour, add a few fresh basil leaves in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  5. Serve over pasta, or use as a base for pizza or lasagne.

This tomato sauce is a perfect example of how recipes using tomato paste can be both simple and profoundly satisfying.
