How to use it
Tomato paste (معجون الطماطم) is a thick, concentrated form of tomatoes used to add rich flavor to sauces, stews, and soups. It is sold in cans or tubes and is usually added in small amounts because of its strong taste. In recipes it often appears after sautéing onions and before adding liquids.
