How to Substitute Tomato Paste for Tomatoes (4 Steps)
Substituting tomato paste for tomatoes won't give you exactly the same texture or taste as when using tomatoes, but it comes close. Using tomato paste gives recipes a thicker pureed consistency than when using just tomatoes. Recipes using tomato paste won't have a fresh-tomato taste, but as tomato paste is still a tomato-based product, the taste will be similar.
Things You'll Need
- 2 tbsp. tomato paste
- 1 cup measuring cup
- Water or tomato juice
- Bowl
- Whisk
Instructions
-
Measure 2 tbsp. tomato paste into a 1 cup measuring cup.
-
Pour enough water or tomato juice into the measuring cup to fill the cup.
-
Empty the tomato paste and water into a bowl. Whisk well to thoroughly combine.
-
Use in place of tomatoes in your cooked recipes.
