Tomato paste

Kenyan Culture at its Peak!!

This time of year, tomato salad is at its best!

In midsummer, with peak-season produce, there is nothing better. Use fresh mint, not dried.

At its most basic, arrabbiata sauce is made up of tomatoes, garlic and chili. My version adds tomato paste for extra depth, anchovy for umami, and basil for freshness. I also leave the garlic in large chunks. Frying the cloves slowly in oil transforms them into deliciously sweet little flavour bombs.

A short puree cook, a long puree bake, delicious organic Roma Tomato paste, just tomato, flaked seasalt and olive oil. No other preservatives used, kept fresh for a year refrigerated in a sterilized mason jar. Ten pounds of fresh Roma tomatoes make one pound of paste. To start, make quarter pound batches with 2 1/2 pounds of fresh tomatoes till you have perfected the flavor.#2025newyear “ Replace Store bought foods with home made organics”

I love this paste. I ate some in a restaurant and had it with my falafels. So I asked how they made it.

I like the combination of avocado, tuna, and tomato, so I made a cute appetizer with the ingredients.Carving the inside of a tomato is actually quite easy. Just leave a decent amount of the flesh. You could season with salt and pepper, but Krazy Salt concentrates the flavor. Sprinkle the Krazy Salt generously. We usually drizzle some tabasco as well. Recipe by Ayanami Aya

This handy tip will save you from ever having to throw away leftover tomato paste AGAIN! Until my Aunt told me about this nifty trick I was always throwing it out before I needed to use it! Quote the Raven, "Never more!"

I use a cup of sun dried shrimp paste per year to flavor rice, vegetable and meat dishes and to give extra zest to soups and omelettes. This condiment is called Trassi or Terasi. I keep the paste in the freezer and use teaspoon size chunks. To make trassi at home, I tasted both Conimex brand trassi and Pantai brand trassi, I like Pantai best. The recipe here came closest to the Pantai flavor. My taste test method and recipe are detailed below. You will love your home made version.I air fryer dry the raw shrimp, sterilize, then puree and make the paste, then ferment the paste one week and then keep the fermented shrimp paste in the freezer.

I wanted to make a soup that would go well with summer dishes.Okra and tomato are at their peak in the summer!The soup will look nice if you add the beaten egg little by little. Recipe by Ayatan

Fermented crab paste and bamboo shoot salad with crab paste are traditional dishes from Northern Thailand. I love eating sticky rice with bamboo shoot salad with crab paste. I usually keep fermented crab paste in the fridge to make chili paste and bamboo shoot salad. If I have 'forest bamboo shoots', which have a unique spicy, tangy, and slightly bitter taste, I enjoy it even more. These bamboo shoots are abundant during the rainy season, growing in the mountains. They are popular in Northern and Northeastern Thailand. They are often boiled and dipped in chili paste, cooked in curry with yanang leaves, or made into bamboo shoot salad and soup in the Isaan style. Typically, I buy pre-boiled ones and then boil them again. A key ingredient in Northern-style bamboo shoot salad is 'ginger leaves', which enhance the aroma of the salad. The fragrance of the crab paste and ginger leaves is delightful and lingers on your hands. It's truly delicious!

Tomato sauce recipe adapted from 'the best tomato sauce in the world!' recipe.

I make this soup for my family on rainy days and they always love it! I first had Tomato and Basil Soup at a restaurant in Reno and fell in love with it, so I tried to recreate it when I got home. I think I got really close because my husband LOVES this soup now too!

Rainny season ,fresh roots herbs ..good to make fresh chilli paste :)

I asked my mother-in-law for her tomato sauce recipe only to find out that she doesn't really have one. I watched her make the sauce and saw that she doesn't use meauring cups or spoons. So I made notes as best I could, but it never tastes quite the same. My husband likes the sauce, so I guess it gets a pass! You can also make meat sauce by adding 0.5 kg cooked lean ground beef.

We are in the peak season for fava beans, and one delicious way to enjoy them is with the recipe I share below, which I learned from my mother.

#colourorangeSimple tomato chutney chawal/ tomato flavoured rice was delicious sweet and tangy in taste and easy to prepare.

I was making Pasta and Rice for lunch on Saturday and wanted to top it off with something other than sauce. Actually, I do have a delicious Lemon Sauce recipe but I didn’t have lemons on hand so I made Tomato Pesto with some tomatoes that I picked up a few days ago, which I absolutely love. Now, that I think of it I think my next post might just be the Lemon Sauce for Pasta. Not sure will have to check if I have all the ingredients. hehehheI don’t really like to add Basil into my recipes, because I find the taste and smell to be a bit intense. But I did add just a few pieces of Basil into this recipe. (Now if you enjoy the intense taste then go ahead and add as much as you want) Maybe this is one of the reasons I do not eat Garlic.My husband doesn’t like to eat Pesto, so this was a nice opportunity for me to make something I truly enjoy. I always add a few fresh tomatoes when making my Pesto, and beat it just a few minutes more so that they can combine with the sun dried tomatoes. You might just like this recipe…a bit different but still tastes gooddddd!!!

For this dish, I combined two types of curry paste because I love Southern yellow curry paste, but my dad prefers red curry paste. So I mixed both to find a happy medium!

#heirloomLet's enjoy this mint lemonade during the hot summers to beat the heat, as it is the best summer cooler and will have an instant refreshing effect on your body. My mom sometimes made this when we came home from school when the sun was at its peak. and now, I make this for my kids and hubby. A very simple and quick recipe!

I made this soup during sukkot at my aunts house as a dish for her guests. I call it Ballroom soup due to its fancy rich taste and texture. Something that a millionaire would eat during a ball or gala.

Tomato lemon marmelade, fresh and tangy . Picked at the peak of tomato sweetness, preserved safely with the acid of lemons and sugar and a five minute waterbath. We use it year round on cheeseburgers, with cheese and crackers, on french bread as luncheon, on omelettes and in scrambled eggs, on french fries and hot dogs instead of ketchup. Use a teaspoon when you need a slice of tomato.

I made this sweet using crushed tomatoes that's perfect in season. This won a price in a recipe contest in the "tomato" category!In order to bring out the tomato's sweetness, I held back on the sugar, so you can also as an hors d'oeuvre. Recipe by Torakopantsu

Stir fry tomato egg is simple and a homemade Chinese dishes, full of juicy and yummy taste. It’s definitely a rice killer!#tomato #egg #Chinese #homemade #lowoil #vegetarian

A quick and refreshing tomato dishThe story behind this recipeI received some tomatoes, and the salted kelp was nearing its expiration date. Combining them turned out delicious.

An easy-to-make Northeastern Thai chili paste.

When you sun dry red ripe tomato puree for four days, you get superb tomato paste. If you dont get four continuous days of sun this time of year, dry in oven. No other ingredients added except a teaspoon of seasalt per pint, just dried into paste in the sun on a half size baking pan. Fresh frozen in small quantities, I use empty half eggshells, holding one ounce each, not boiled or canned to keep that summer fresh taste.

This made ahead turmeric paste stimulates me to get more turmeric into my body because I don't think it's possible for me to make curry every day. Coconut paste is made simply by blending young coconut meat into a paste. Fresh young coconut doesn't contain as much fat as matured ones yet the fiber rich meat tends to be more sweeter and creamy. My stomach unfortunately cannot tolerate any store bought coconut products that is come from a jar, but you can definitely use 1/2 cup of coconut milk, nut milk or cow’s milk if you can tolerate.

I wanted to make a tomato sauce to add to fish, mashed potatoes, chicken etc.. so i looked around in different places until I came up with this. It made a nice large bowl
