Just a small amount adds remarkable depth and umami to soups, stews, and meat dishes, while its concentrated nature means a little goes a long way in building complex flavors. When cooking with this Italian tomato paste, consider sautéing it briefly in oil before adding other ingredients to develop its flavors and reduce any raw taste.
