Recipe Oven-Braised Celery Hearts with Pancetta Minced celery is an essential flavor base for many soups, stews, and sauces, but sometimes, this aromatic vegetable deserves to be the star of the show, as it is here,…. Recipe Sofrito Scallops with Saffron Rice Used with everything from beans to meat to fish, the versatile tomato-based sauce called sofrito is the soul of Latin American and Caribbean food. Recipe Curried Lamb with Apricots and Almonds This sweet and aromatic curry is based on the traditional sali boti of Parsi cuisine in western India.
I use drained diced tomatoes for use in my version of Pasta Fazoul or as the basis for a semi-quick pasta sauce where I am going to simmer the ingredients for 30 minutes, but less then an hour. In that period of time, the heat softens the tomatoes, but not to the point of being mushy. Fresh: When I think of fresh tomatoes for cooking, I am not referring to the mealy flavorless tomatoes from the grocery store, but those that are grown in a garden by yourself, given to you by friends or purchased in a farmers market.
My favorite meal pasta dish with fresh tomatoes is to peel the tomatoes then hand crush them, season with fresh basil and salt then chill and serve with angel hair pasta. At the end of the tomato growing season when I have had my fill, I freeze them whole and add them to a sauce where they are only one of many components. Paste: Is concentrated tomato pulp with the skin, stems and seeds removed. It is a very versatile product that can be used in sauces, gravies, soups and stews.
It is used as a thickening agent and a little amount can provide the tomato flavor that the cook is seeking with minimal time required to boil off the water found in other tomato products. Unfortunately, high fructose corn syrup is sometimes added which makes it difficult to use when sweetness is not desired.
Personally, I rarely use tomato paste. Puree: Inconsistency between food processors creates a lot of variation in the final product. In some products the skin remains and almost all do not strain the seeds. This variation results in the flavor varying greatly between different processors.
My personal opinion is that the inclusion of the seeds regardless of how well they are minced, ground and pulverized leaves a bitter taste to the product that is difficult to overcome.
Strained : Of all the products listed in this post, one of the most difficult to source at a grocery store. Other tips: — Keep an eye out for seasoned versions with garlic, basil, etc. Most recipes assume the canned tomatoes called for have no added spices unless otherwise noted.

Normally I buy Australian grown tinned crushed tomatoes. A few weeks ago I was excited to find jars of Australian grown tomato passata. Here in Sydney. Great product. Yes it is slightly different from the crushed tomatoes. Australian grown.
You do such a good job on this website. Hi, thanks so much for explaining what Passata is. Thank you again! Thanks for the information on passata…. Realised that I was out of ketchup so substituted with passata for the slow cooked beef brisket… then I did a search for the difference and came back to your site. Not sure how it will go. What do you think? Thanks Nagi. It turned out quite nice. It did taste different, but it was a nice substitute.
