I am making lamb stew today & the recipe calls for tomato sauce. I don't have any. I have tom paste, canned toms & tomato puree. What to use as a sub? I am not going to the store.TIA also have some jarred pasta sauce.

I would use canned tomatoes with a couple tablespoons of paste to jazz it up. Or, you could probably just cook down the tomatoes some to thicken them up. trink. |

Do you have an onion, five carrots and garlic? If so, here you go: - finely chop the onion and three garlic cloves. - sweat the onion in 2 tbs of olive oil until translucent, about 10 min, then add 1 TBS kosher salt. - add garlic and cook for two more min. - add 2 TBS of tomato paste, mix, and then add the tomato puree. - coarsely chop the tomatoes (do this in the can with kitchen shears) and add to the sauce. - Peel and cut the carrots into 2" segments and add to the sauce. - simmer for about 2 hours; remove the carrots before use (they're a great snack) or keep them in. Add additional salt to taste. - a splash or red wine never hurts. If you don't have carrots just add some sugar to taste to give the sauce just a tinge of sweetness. Actually, this isn't a "sub" for tomato sauce...it is tomato sauce.  ...lou |
