Frequently Asked Questions About Diluted Tomato Paste
What is diluted tomato paste?
Diluted tomato paste is tomato paste mixed with water to make it thinner and easier to stir into food. It brings a concentrated tomato flavor to soups, stews, sauces, and other dishes without the thickness of paste straight from the can or jar.
How do you make diluted tomato paste?
To make diluted tomato paste, whisk water into tomato paste a little at a time until it reaches the consistency you need. Start with a thicker mixture for sauces and add more water for soups or other dishes with plenty of liquid.
How is diluted tomato paste different from tomato sauce?
Diluted tomato paste is simply paste thinned with water, while tomato sauce is usually made from tomatoes and may include seasonings or other ingredients. Diluted paste tends to have a more concentrated flavor, so adjust the amount to suit your recipe.
What can I use instead of diluted tomato paste?
Tomato puree or passata can replace diluted tomato paste in many recipes. They are usually thinner and less concentrated, so reduce other liquids if needed and let the dish simmer longer if you want a thicker consistency.
How do you use diluted tomato paste in cooking?
Stir diluted tomato paste into soups, stews, braises, or sauces to add tomato flavor and color. You can add it to cooking liquid or briefly cook it with aromatics; follow the recipe’s liquid balance so the dish does not become watery.
Should you fry diluted tomato paste before adding it to a dish?
You can briefly fry diluted tomato paste, but it may splatter because it contains water. Stir it over medium-low heat with the other ingredients, and stop once its aroma develops; prolonged frying can make it stick or scorch.
How much water should you add to tomato paste to make diluted tomato paste?
There is no fixed amount of water for diluted tomato paste because recipes need different consistencies. Add water gradually, whisking as you go, and stop when it pours easily but still tastes and feels concentrated enough for the dish.
Can you use diluted tomato paste on pizza?
Yes, diluted tomato paste can work as a quick pizza sauce, but keep it thick enough that it will not make the crust soggy. Season it to taste and spread a thin layer over the dough before adding toppings.
How long does diluted tomato paste last in the refrigerator?
Keep diluted tomato paste in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. Use a clean spoon each time, and discard it if you notice mold, an unusual smell, or a marked change in color.
Can you freeze diluted tomato paste?
Yes, diluted tomato paste freezes well in small portions. Freeze it in an airtight container or an ice-cube tray, then transfer the portions to a freezer-safe bag. Thaw only what you need in the refrigerator and do not refreeze it.

What is Diluted Tomato Paste?
Diluted Tomato Paste is concentrated tomato paste loosened with water, used as a cooking ingredient rather than served as a dish on its own. In Turkish cooking, tomato paste is often warmed with onion and oil to start soups, bean dishes, vegetable stews and sauces. Diluting it makes it easier to stir through a pot and gives dishes tomato flavour without the same thickness as straight paste.
It tastes savoury, gently tangy and distinctly tomatoey, with a pourable consistency. Add it to a simmering soup or stew, or briefly cook it with aromatics before adding other ingredients. At 35 calories per 100 g, it adds flavour with relatively few calories. It pairs naturally with garlic, onion and olive oil; for a lighter meal, use only a little oil and let vegetables or beans provide the substance.
