Tomatoes is just 40% the binding agent is corn starch. 60%.
I don't think there's even an atom of tomato in those canned nonsense. What they use is just tomato flavour. So saying 40% is giving them undeserved pass mark. People should avoid those packaged chemicals.

I have been wondering why does my stew don't turn out well no matter how I tried the reason is that I use too much tomato paste due to due to tomoto cost during buhari administration.

This Xmas I just decide to use full tomotos and eliminates impurities like tomato paste. And the stew turns out great ๐Ÿ‘. So it was clear the tomato paste products have been the curprit all those while.

The problem now is that how would one cook a pot full of stew with pure tomatoes on a normal day? now that a painter of tomatoes is above 5k.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK, IF YOU SAY TOMATOE PASTE IS NOT HEALTHY, THAT IS THE TRUTH BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS, BUT TO SAY IT DOES NOT MAKE STEW SWEET, YOU NOR SABI COOK, IT IS THE SWEETNESS THAT IT ADD TO STEW THAT MAKES A LOT OF PERSONS CONTINUE TO USE IT, IRRESPECTIVE OF ITS HEALTH DANGERS, LAS LAS STEW WITHOUT TOMATOE PASTE IS BETTER, LIKE I SAID BECAUSE OF IT'S HEALTH REASONS.

Both are required to prepare a delicious stew. Raw must be higher in quantity than the paste. The raw has to dry up before the paste can come in. Better still, get a woman who knows how to use them and learn from her.

incorrect sir. So called tomato pastes sold in Nigeria AREN'T TOMATOES. Just a mixture of corn flour, tomato flavor, coloring etc. If ANY real tomato concentrates are used, it's usually in very negligible amounts. It's almost impossible to make 'great stew' from such stuff sir.

Don't mind the people attacking you. I have been preaching this for years. I don't use it even if I am cooking a drum of stew. I only use it for party jollof. In fact, I hate to see it!!

Balance your fresh tomatoes, tatashe, shombo and scotch bonnets. I will say ratio 8:4:2:x... scotch bonnet (x) to your tolerance level.

The trick to a badass stew is rich stock, onions, garlic, LITTLE ginger, curry and thyme. Majority of Nigerians do not use this in their stew na why e dey be like stew na luck. I haven't made a bad stew in 6 years.

Don't dice/slice your onions, rough blend it with your thyme. Fry first before putting in your tomatoes mix and bay leaf. Allow to fry on low heat until all the water is gone. Put in your meat stock, seasoning and protein. Allow to boil again.

For every cooking recipe and method, there's always a champion. Variety is the spice of life.

During my service I shared apartment with a guy from Benue, he cooks stew with ONLY tomatoes paste. He actually doesn't know how to use fresh tomatoes. He was a generally good cook and the stew always turned out very very good. Better than all the others in the lodge who preferred fresh tomatoes.

The above oils you mentioned,you have got only olive oil as good.Others are seed oils which are not healthy.
Seasoning should be ginger, garlic and other natural ones.

Buy fresh tomatoes and Tatashe (spelling ?).
Blend and then pour into a clean pot and cook till it becomes pasty.

Nigerians and propaganda!

The ingredients of tomato paste are writing on the box/container. You are simply spreading fake news and misinformation.
