Frequently Asked Questions About Onion with tomato paste
What is onion with tomato paste?
Onion with tomato paste is a simple cooked onion dish or side made by softening onions and stirring in tomato paste. Recipes vary, but it is usually served warm, with the paste coating the onions rather than as a separate sauce.
How do you make onion with tomato paste?
Cook sliced onions gently in a little oil until soft, then stir in tomato paste and cook briefly to take away its raw taste. Add a splash of water and simmer until the onions are tender and the mixture reaches the consistency you like.
Why does onion with tomato paste taste bitter?
Onion with tomato paste can taste bitter if the paste is scorched or cooked for too long over high heat. Add the paste after the onions have softened, stir it briefly, and loosen it with water before it sticks to the pan.
How do you keep onion with tomato paste from getting watery?
To keep onion with tomato paste from getting watery, cook it uncovered so excess liquid can evaporate. Let the onions soften before adding water, and add only a small splash at a time if the pan starts to dry out.
What should you serve with onion with tomato paste?
Onion with tomato paste pairs well with rice, grains, crusty bread, or grilled vegetables. It can also be served alongside beans or another protein to make the meal more substantial; its savory sauce is easy to spoon over simple sides.
Can onion with tomato paste be used as a base for other dishes?
Yes, onion with tomato paste can be used as a savory base for soups, stews, or braised vegetables. Cook it until the onions are tender, then add the other ingredients and enough liquid for the recipe rather than treating it as a finished sauce.
Can you use tomato paste from a tube for onion with tomato paste?
Yes, tomato paste from a tube works in onion with tomato paste just like paste from a can. Since products vary in saltiness and concentration, start with a modest amount, taste the mixture, and adjust before adding extra salt.

What is Onion with tomato paste?
Onion with tomato paste is a simple cooked vegetable dish made by softening chopped onion with tomato paste. It is at home in Turkish-style home cooking, where onions are often cooked with a little oil and water until tender; the exact preparation can vary from kitchen to kitchen.
Cooking mellows the onion’s sharpness and brings out a gentle sweetness, balanced by the paste’s concentrated, savoury tomato flavour. Serve it as a side with bread, rice or bulgur, or alongside beans and other simple mains. It is relatively low in calories and provides fibre and vitamin C, making it an easy way to add vegetables to a meal. Use oil sparingly if you want to keep the dish lighter.
