Tomato puree: one base for sauces, soups and gravies
A single can of tomato puree can anchor pasta sauces, curries, soups and pizza bases. Here is how kitchens use it well.
Ask any head chef which ingredient they never run out of, and tomato puree is near the top of the list. It is concentrated, smooth and ready to cook with.
A base you can trust
Because the puree is smooth and evenly concentrated, every pot of sauce starts from the same place. That makes flavour and colour easy to repeat across shifts and across kitchens.
Where it works hardest
Pasta sauces and pizza bases, restaurant gravies and curries, tomato soup, shakshuka and chutneys. One can covers all of them.
Tips from the pass
Fry the puree for a minute in oil before adding liquid to deepen the flavour. Balance acidity with a pinch of sugar, and finish with fresh herbs.
Rootin Tomato Puree is made for exactly this kind of daily, dependable cooking.
