Frequently Asked Questions About Strained Yogurt and Tomato Paste Sauce

How do you make strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce?

Stir tomato paste into strained yogurt, then season with garlic, salt, and spices if you like. For a deeper flavor, briefly cook the paste in a little oil and let it cool before mixing it into the yogurt.

What do you serve strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce with?

Serve strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce with grilled meats, kebabs, roasted vegetables, or potatoes. It also works as a dip for flatbread and crisp vegetables, especially alongside a mezze spread.

Can strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce go on pasta?

Yes, strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce can dress pasta. Let the pasta cool slightly before tossing it with the sauce, and keep the yogurt mixture off direct heat so it stays creamy instead of turning grainy.

Is strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce like tzatziki?

No, strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce is centered on tomato paste, while tzatziki typically gets its flavor and texture from cucumber, garlic, and herbs. The two are both yogurt-based but taste quite different.

Should you cook the tomato paste for strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce?

Cooking the tomato paste briefly in oil is a useful option: it softens the raw, concentrated flavor. Cool it completely before combining it with strained yogurt, or the heat may affect the sauce's texture.

Can you make strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce ahead. Let any cooked tomato paste cool first, mix it with the yogurt, and cover the bowl in the refrigerator; stir the sauce before serving.

How long does strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce last in the fridge?

Keep strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce covered and refrigerated, and use it within about two to three days. Serve it with a clean spoon, and discard it if its smell or texture changes.

Can Greek yogurt replace strained yogurt in strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce?

Yes, plain Greek yogurt can stand in for strained yogurt in this sauce because both are thick, tangy yogurts. Choose an unsweetened version; if it is looser, the finished sauce may be less thick.

Why is my strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce watery?

Strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce can turn watery if the yogurt is loose or if warm tomato paste is mixed in. Use thick yogurt, cool the paste first, and chill the sauce briefly to help it firm up.

Is strained yogurt and tomato paste sauce served hot or cold?

It is usually served cold or at room temperature, as a dip or accompaniment. You can warm the tomato paste while preparing it, but cool it before mixing it into the yogurt rather than heating the finished sauce.
