How To Make Tomato Paste

Ingredients for tomato paste:
5 kg. plum tomatoes
4 tbsp rock salt
2-3 tbsp olive oil
a colander
preferable hand blender or food processor to puree the tomatoes or you can do it by hand to
Wash and take out the bad parts of the tomatoes if there is any.
Cut them in four. Separate them into two parts for easy handling and put it on a colander.
Sprinkle 2 tbsp rock salt on each and mix it with hand. Let it sit for about 5-6 hours. You will see a clear juice coming from the tomatoes and drain under the colander. This way it will reduce the cooking time to become a paste.
Transfer the tomatoes to a big wide pan and begin to cook on low heat. You can stir from time to time and continue to cook for about 15 minutes until they are soft.
Using a strong hand blender or food processor process tomatoes to make a puree. Now we have to strain the puree to get rid of all the seeds and the skin. Use a big colander like in the video and strain by helping with your palm or back of a measuring cup or such.

Cook the strained tomato puree on very low heat, stirring from time to time. It takes about 5-6 hours to become a paste. You can do this part the other day too if you don't have time or if its already a night :)
Add about 2 tbsp olive oil and taste the paste: it should be saltier than regular dishes since it will also help to keep the puree fresh.
Transfer your tomato paste to a clean, boiled, and dried jar and cover the top of the tomato paste with olive oil to seal it from the air so it doesn't form a mold. In total, I got about 900gr. tomato paste from 5 kg. tomatoes. Keep it in the refrigerator and after each use, cover the rest with olive oil...

I have a tip that you might like to try. After blending the tomatoes and starring them, transfer them into a slow cooker. It may take a little longer but you get the same result without the risk of burning the tomato paste 🙂

Thank you for sharing. It's odd that I stumbled upon your channel looking for what I always considered to be an Italian recipe, but I'm glad I did, because I can honestly say that Türkiye is the most beautiful place I have ever visited in the world and also had the best food I have ever experienced in my life.
