Tomato Paste

Every great Ghanaian pot starts with good tomato paste, and this rich, double-concentrated paste delivers the deep red colour and intense tomato flavour your cooking deserves. Made from ripe tomatoes cooked down to a thick, smooth concentrate, a small spoonful goes a long way — bringing body, colour and a natural sweet-savoury depth to jollof rice, light soup, kontomire stew, spaghetti sauce and gravies. Fry it gently in oil with your onions and pepper to wake up its flavour before adding your other ingredients, and watch the whole dish come alive. With no artificial ingredients, it is a simple, honest pantry essential no kitchen should run out of — keep a few cans ready for whatever you are cooking tonight.
