Ingredient: tomato paste Recipes
Chilli con Carne
Chilli con carne with real depth from a long simmer, cocoa and cumin. Serves 6 in about 2 hours, and an honest answer on whether beans belong in it.
Tomato Soup
Tomato soup with real depth, from tinned tomatoes in winter or roasted fresh in summer. Serves 4 in about 50 minutes, and how to fix the acidity.
Braised Beef Cheeks
Beef cheeks braised for three hours until they collapse under a fork, in a red wine sauce. Serves 4, and the trimming step that most recipes leave out.
Cottage Pie
Cottage pie with a filling thick enough to hold the mash up and a crisp forked top. Serves 6 in about 1 hour 20, plus the shepherds pie difference.
Slow Cooker Lamb Shanks
Lamb shanks slow cooked in red wine and rosemary until the meat falls off the bone, with a sauce reduced properly. Serves 4, 8 hours in the cooker.
Nachos
Nachos fail in a very specific way: the top layer is perfect, the bottom is a pale soggy raft of chips with nothing on them, and the middle is somewhere between. That’s a construction problem, not a recipe problem. Serves 4 as a main, 6 as a shared plate. Thirty minutes.
