Hoggirl Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I have a recipe that calls for tomato sauce. I only have tomato paste on hand. Can I just mix the tomato paste with water and turn it into tomato paste? If so, in what ratio? 1:1? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSong Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yes, you can. I've never done it but here's an article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yes, I do that all the time. Different brands will be different thicknesses though, so you'll have to experiment a little. I think US brands often work with equal parts paste and water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 The tomato sauce provides the liquid for my cauliflower rice (which I have never made before). I am not going to have time to run by the store, so I am going to give it a go. Thanks! Y'all are FAST! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyBC Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yup. I've stopped buying tomato sauce as tomato paste is so much cheaper. One can paste + two cans water, mix until smooth, usually does the trick, then add whatever spices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
