What recipes can I use tomato paste in?

Question

Besides spaghetti (most obvious answer).
I have leftover tomato paste and I don't want to waste it..

Answer 1

use it in lasagna,
or this is very delicious......put some finely chopped onions and minced beef and 2-3 tbsps tomato paste in a frying pan and mix well over heat till the meet changes color, add some salt and pepper and whatever seasoning u like, then add 1 cup of water and bring to boil...
meanwhile take 4-5 aubergines and peel them and lightly fry them, then pour the meet on the aubergines and put on a medium heat for 15-20 minutes.....serve, and mind your fingers!!!

Answer 2

Tomato pilaf

Heat 2 tbsp oil, put in a cinamon stick and 3 cloves. 15 secs later add 1/2 a chopped onion and fry till softens and changes color a bit. Lower the heat and add 1/2 tsp of chopped garlic, and 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, plus 3 tablespoons of water so the tomato paste doesn't burn. Add 2 cups of washed drained basmati rice to the pot and stir till coated. Add 4 cups of hot water, 1 3/4 tsp of salt and bring to a boil. Let it bubble till the level of water reduces down to the level of the rice and "craters" (like small volcanoes) are beginning to form in the rice. Cover the pot and turn heat to lowest heat on your smaller burner. It should be cooked in about 20 minutes. Hope you enjoy it .. I love the taste and the appearance. Remember to remove the cinamon stick and cloves .. as they are awful if you bite on them. If you don't have those ingredients.. you could use just the garlic, onions and 1/2 tsp dried parsley.

Answer 3

You could, but first you need to reduce the tomato sauce so it is thick like tomato paste. By cooking it until thick it should do the same job as the tomato paste and have the same flavor. It would be easier to run to the store and buy tomato paste. Good luck.

Answer 4

Basically what everyone else said. But don't let it go to waste in the meantime either. On a piece of wax paper, put individual tablespoons, then put it in the freezer. When the blobs are frozen, put them in a ziplock and back in the freezer. They're handy whenever you need just a tablespoon or two!

Answer 5

I use it a lot - pasta sauce,rissotto, stew, on the base of a pizza, mixed with roasted veg& couscous, in tomato soup...

Answer 6

you can freeze your leftover tomato paste to use it at a later date.
