Cooking Tips:
For best results with tomato puree, cook it briefly to develop the flavor before adding other ingredients. Sauté garlic and onions in oil, add the tomato puree, and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. This process caramelizes the natural sugars and deepens the flavor. Then add your other ingredients and seasonings for a more complex, developed taste.
