Tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste is a cooked, concentrated vegetable spread made from those three vegetables. It is a processed condiment, and recipes or products vary in texture and saltiness; use it as a savory spread or cooking ingredient.
Use tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste to add depth to soups, stews, grain dishes, and sauces. Stir it into sautéed onions or vegetables early in cooking so its concentrated flavor blends into the dish.
To make tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste, cook the vegetables until soft, blend them, then simmer the mixture until thick. For shelf-stable storage, follow a tested canning recipe and its processing instructions rather than relying on a sealed jar alone.
Tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste includes peppers and eggplant as well as tomatoes, so it has a broader, often sweeter and more roasted vegetable flavor than plain tomato paste. Taste it before seasoning a dish or substituting it.
Keep tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste tightly covered in the refrigerator after opening, and use a clean, dry utensil each time. Follow the product’s storage directions, and discard it if you notice mold, an off smell, or an unusual appearance.
Yes, tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste can be frozen. Divide it into small portions in an airtight container so you can thaw only what you need; do not refreeze a portion after it has thawed.
Yes, tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste can replace tomato paste in many savory recipes, but the result will taste less purely tomato-based. Start with a similar amount, then adjust the salt and other seasonings after tasting.
No, tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste does not have to be cooked before eating if it is a ready-to-eat product. Heating it briefly with oil or stirring it into a simmering dish can mellow its raw-edged taste and distribute its flavor.
Serve tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste with bread, crackers, grilled vegetables, or a savory breakfast spread. Its concentrated flavor also pairs well with eggs and cheese; offer it in a small bowl so diners can add as much as they like.
Mold, a fermented or unpleasant smell, bubbling, or a marked change in color or texture can mean tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste has spoiled. Discard the contents of the jar rather than scraping off a moldy patch.

Tomato, pepper, and eggplant paste is a thick, cooked-down blend of vegetables used in Turkish home cooking. It may be homemade or bought ready-made, and the salt level varies by product. Its flavour is concentrated and savoury, with the gentle sweetness of tomato, peppery notes and the mellow taste of eggplant. In Turkey, it is often stirred into oil and onion as a base for soups, bean dishes, bulgur and vegetable stews, rather than served as a dip on its own. The vegetables contribute fibre, and a little paste can add plenty of flavour. Check the salt before seasoning, and loosen it with a splash of cooking liquid for a lighter, less oily base.
