The Way to Simmer Tomatoes into Paste

As a woman and a busy mum, I really like tricks which make my life simple, stress-free, simple cleaning, and most importantly enjoy some fantastic food. So I am always on the lookout for and discovering ways to make my cooking life easy. So this hack, I am going to share with you had been picked up out of my sister inlaw. About 11 years back, when I was having my traditional union, my sister offered to do the catering. I thought wow, how is she will cook all the Jollof, waakye and waakye stew amongst all of the other small bits of this and all by herself and using a little bit of help from my sister? But she nailed it and actually got all of the food made punctually and STRESS-FREE! I was so amazed so I asked my sister,'how did you guys get the waakye stew fried so well in such a brief quantity of time' Her reply was that the hack I'm letting you in now.

I adopted it in my Jollof recipe along with other tomato-based sauces when looking to have a truly loaded with deep flavor flavor. Aside from that, it shortens the cooking time and makes cleanup of my stove top so simple as there's no splatter of curry stew everywhere. Also, it may be carried out beforehand, refrigerated or frozen and it will become handy for simple and quick weekday meals.

So this is the way I turn blended tomatoes into a paste for use in recipes like waakye stew, jollof rice, pizza foundation etc.. Should you find this hack useful, do allow me to know.

INGREDIENTS:

*No amount has been given as it will depend on your requirement.

Plum Tomatoes or New tomatoes (blended)

Passata (optional)

Bay leaves

METHOD:

Use a heavy based pot, one which doesn't burn easily. The pot ought to be deep enough to contain the number of berries being simmered. There should be a third free area above the tomato mix, to allow space for bubbling when boiling.

I favor using plum tomatoes to chopped since they are tastier.

When simmering, do not COVER or STIR.

Depending upon the number of berries being simmered along with the size of the pot, your tomato paste could be ready within 20 minutes.
