What is Oil with tomato paste?
Oil with tomato paste is a simple Turkish cooking sauce made by warming tomato paste in oil until it loosens and turns fragrant. The paste gives the oil a glossy red-orange colour and a concentrated, savoury tomato flavour, with a soft texture rather than the freshness of raw tomatoes.
In Turkey, it is commonly spooned over dishes such as mantı, soup, beans or rice, and can also season vegetables or eggs. Outside Turkey, it works as a quick finishing sauce for pasta, grains or roasted vegetables. Since it is mostly oil, a little goes a long way; use a small spoonful for flavour, or pair it with yoghurt to balance its richness.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oil with tomato paste
How do you make oil with tomato paste?
Heat oil gently in a pan, stir in tomato paste, and cook it briefly until fragrant and glossy. Keep stirring so the paste does not scorch; burnt tomato paste can make the mixture taste bitter.
What do you serve oil with tomato paste on?
Oil with tomato paste is commonly spooned over Turkish mantı dumplings, noodles, bulgur dishes, and soups. It adds a concentrated savory flavor and red color, and is usually used as a finishing sauce rather than a dip.
Is oil with tomato paste the same as tomato sauce?
No. Oil with tomato paste is a concentrated, quick-cooked mixture used as a topping or seasoning, while tomato sauce usually contains more tomato and liquid and is simmered into a looser sauce.
Can you put oil with tomato paste on Turkish mantı?
Yes, oil with tomato paste is a traditional topping for Turkish mantı. Spoon it over the cooked dumplings, often alongside garlic yogurt, and serve it while warm so the sauce coats them well.
Which oil works best for oil with tomato paste?
Olive oil and neutral vegetable oils both work well for oil with tomato paste. Olive oil gives the topping a more noticeable aroma, while a neutral oil lets the tomato paste flavor stand out.
Why does oil with tomato paste taste bitter?
Oil with tomato paste usually tastes bitter when the paste or added pepper has scorched. Cook it over moderate heat, stir frequently, and take the pan off the heat once the paste smells fragrant.
Can you add chili to oil with tomato paste?
Yes, chili flakes or another ground chili can be stirred into oil with tomato paste. Warm the spice briefly with the mixture, then stop cooking before it darkens or burns.
How do you keep oil with tomato paste from separating?
Oil with tomato paste may separate as it stands because the oil and paste do not stay fully blended. Stir it thoroughly while warm before serving; a brief reheating in a pan helps bring it together again.
How should you store leftover oil with tomato paste?
Store leftover oil with tomato paste in a covered container in the refrigerator, using a clean spoon each time. Do not leave it out for extended periods, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
