Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make tomato sauce for shish kebab from tomato paste with cilantro and garlic? Prepare all the products listed on the list. Instead of cilantro, it is permissible to use parsley or basil. If you use several fresh herbs at the same time, you will get a richer and more flavorful sauce. I used about 25 grams of cilantro and 5-7 grams of parsley. Choose good quality tomato paste.

2. STEP 2

   

   If you have thick tomato paste, dilute it with water. How much water should I use? Make sure that the tomato mixture has a consistency similar to sour cream. I had a very thick paste, so I needed about 150-200 ml of water. Add the tomato paste to the frying pan and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Next, remove the pan from the heat and cool the tomato mass.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the tomato paste in a blender bowl. Peel the garlic and pass through a press. Add to blender.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse the greens under running cold water and dry with a kitchen towel. Chop the greens coarsely and add to the bowl with all the ingredients. Salt everything to taste, add sugar if necessary. Pepper and sprinkle with ground paprika.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat everything until smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Transfer the finished sauce into a deep bowl or jar of suitable size. Place in the refrigerator for several hours to allow the sauce to absorb all the flavors.

7. STEP 7

   

   Serve chilled tomato paste and cilantro sauce with kebabs and more!

For kebabs, I would also recommend another version of barbecue sauce with honey and ketchup.

Over the weekend I baked a duck, and to make the meat even tastier I made a sauce. Tomato-based sauce goes best with red meat. I looked for recipes on the site, and what I liked most was the barbecue sauce made from tomato paste. Moreover, it is easy and simple to prepare. And the products are always at hand. I always use natural tomato paste without adding salt, sugar, and especially starch. It is bright red, which makes any sauce based on it attractive in appearance. Using the site's calculator, I changed the portions so that the paste was 180 g. I warmed it up with filtered water and put it into a blender. I took the garlic young; it has a pungent, pleasant aroma and a pungent taste. The herbs I have are fragrant parsley, I used only leaves without rough twigs. The rest of the spices are in the grinder. I whipped this whole mass in a blender. The tomato sauce got a little texture thanks to the garlic and herbs. Heated it a little on low heat to thicken it. I must admit that this sauce is much tastier than any store-bought ketchup! Our small group ate the entire portion and wanted more. They even just dipped bread into the sauce). It is richly tomato, aromatic, with a garlicky kick! Delicious, fast and easy!
