Thermomix Tomato Paste - No Added Sugar
"It's easy to make your own, all-natural tomato paste with the Thermomix. No additives, no preservatives, you control the amount of salt. By using a carrot to cut the acidity of the tomatoes and add a touch of sweetness - this is a totally sugarless recipe!"

- Yields:
-
250 grams
ingredients
- 1 carrot, peeled roughly cut
- 1500 g tomatoes, ripest possible
- 4.92 ml rock salt
- 14.79 ml olive oil
- 2 bay leaves
directions
- Place the carrot in the TM bowl with enough water to cover by about an inch. Cook 20 min/100º/speed soft.
- Pour out the water and add about half the tomatoes to the TM bowl. Cut the rest so that they'll fit through the hole in the lid - if you use Roma tomatoes you won't need to do this step - they fit fine!
- Gradually turn the speed up to 6. Add the remaining tomatoes into the bowl as it is mixing. After all the tomatoes are in, mix 15 seconds/speed 6.
- Add all remaining ingredients. Mix 10 seconds/speed 6.
- Cook 30 minutes/Varoma/speed 1.5. Scrape down sides.
- Cook 30 minutes/Varoma/speed 1.5 again. Scrape down sides. If the paste is the color and consistency that you like, you're done. If you want your paste thicker or darker red, keep going with the cooking and scraping down in 10 minute intervals until it looks right.
- Remove from heat and freeze whatever you aren't going to use today. It doesn't keep well in the fridge. I froze mine in silicone cupcake cups - 50 grams in each cup. I got about 250 grams of paste from my 1.5 kg of tomatoes.

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific!
I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky.
My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson.
My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there.
I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets.
I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily.
I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
