When you eat tomato paste on crackers do you eat it directly from the can or have to cook it?
i was watching oprah and they showed people eating tomato paste on crackers and said it was good for your skin. this sounds retarded, but i've never eaten tomato paste so i don't know how it's supposed to be prepared.
Answers: It is perfectly O.K. to eat it straight out of the can. It is just pretty bland. I prefer it dabbed on a whole wheat English Muffin, top with some cheese, and toast in a toaster oven.
If you have leftovers (as I am sure you will) dab it in tablespoons on a piece of waxed paper, freeze on a cookie sheet. Once they are frozen, put into a zip loc freezer bag and take out only what you need for snacks or for recipes. It's already been cooked...you can eat it out of the can if you want. I never thought of putting it on crackers...I'll have to try that. tomato paste is a Italian thickener -never had it on crackers -tomatoes is a acid so i really do not no how it could be good for the skin but it's good for us Italian belly's tomato paste is safe eaten directly from the can, it is fully cooked and processed, but I can not imagine it will taste very good, or be good for your skin unless applied directly. it is also likely to give you a belly ache from all the acid in the tomatos
try Oprah.com and send an e-mail and ask how they did it I'm sorry, but if you're eating tomato paste on crackers it means you've got the munchies from spending all of your money on pot, crack, and meth.
. DUDE! I eat tomato paste out of the can with a spoon: now if eating tomato paste out of the can was inedible I would be DEAD now, but...I have been doing this for many years and I am still around!!
** You should def. try it sometime! I think Oprah and Dr. Oz were talking about 11 tsps of tomato sauce a week. It has more lycopene in it than raw tomatoes, and is an antioxidant to help prevent cancer. It can also help with weight control. It is one of several foods he mentioned we should eat daily. Being that tomato paste is either in a jar or canned you should boil it on medium hear for at least 5-7 minutes until it comes to a rapid boil then put it on low for 5 minutes the reason being although the paste is precooked it tastes better and richer when you cook it.
Do you like triscut crackers here is a good snack
take some triscuts
sprinkle sauce on triscuts with a spoon
sprinkle on some shredded cheese
sprinkle on a bit of oregano and parsley
Place on a plate and microwave until cheese is bubbly and melted it taste like little pizzas I recommend using any Ragu jar sauce you don't need to microwave long maybe 2-3 minutes at the most if cheese is not melted put it again for a few seconds. I made the recipe for a Christmas party and everyone loved it :)
PS it is not retarded if you never had tomato paste but if you are going to get canned tomato paste it is very bland and has Little bit of a bitter taste to it you can go on line and type in easy way to make Italian sauce you could probably go on this site and get a variety of answers.:)
