Simmer lamb sausage in water mixed with tomato paste until it is thoroughly cooked and hot throughout. Dissolve the paste in a little warm water before adding it so it blends evenly. If the sausage is sold raw, follow its cooking instructions rather than relying on appearance alone.
It can be made with either, because lamb sausages are sold both raw and ready to eat. Check the package: raw sausage must be cooked thoroughly, while precooked sausage only needs reheating. Boiling it in tomato-paste water does not make an undercooked sausage safe unless it cooks through.
The dish combines lamb sausage and tomato paste, usually with water to make a sauce. The sausage may also contain seasonings and other ingredients that vary by maker, while home cooks sometimes add onion, garlic, or pepper to the tomato base.
No, you can cook lamb sausage directly in water mixed with tomato paste. Stir the paste into warm water first, then add the sausage and simmer gently. Cooking it in the sauce lets the tomato flavor coat the sausage without requiring a separate boiling step.
Serve lamb sausage boiled with tomato paste with rice, bread, potatoes, or a crisp salad. Because the sausage and sauce can both be salty, choose a simple side without much added salt; plain yogurt can also balance the rich, savory flavors.
Yes, you can grill the lamb sausage and serve it with tomato-paste sauce, but it will no longer be boiled. Cook the sausage fully on the grill, prepare the sauce separately, and spoon it over the top so the tomato paste does not scorch.
Cooked lamb sausage boiled with tomato paste keeps for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly after serving, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat until it is hot throughout.
Yes, freeze lamb sausage boiled with tomato paste in an airtight, freezer-safe container once it has cooled. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it thoroughly; the sauce may separate slightly, so stir it while warming.
It is better as an occasional meal than an everyday choice. Lamb sausage is processed meat and can be high in sodium and fat; frequent processed-meat consumption is linked with poorer health outcomes. Pairing it with vegetables does not remove those concerns.
To make lamb sausage boiled with tomato paste less salty, use a smaller amount of paste and dilute the sauce with water rather than adding salt or stock. Serve it with unsalted rice or vegetables, and avoid reducing the sauce for too long, which concentrates its saltiness.

Lamb sausage, boiled with tomato paste, is lamb sausage cooked in water and finished with tomato paste. The paste gives the sausage a savoury, gently tangy coating, while boiling leaves it tender and juicy. It is a simple way to serve sausage as a hot dish rather than on its own straight from the pack.
In Turkey, it can appear at breakfast or as a quick meal with bread; elsewhere, serve it warm with a simple side. It is high in both protein and fat, with 15.8 g protein and 23.4 g fat per 100 g. Since it can be salty, avoid adding extra salt and pair it with fresh salad or vegetables for a lighter plate.
