In the course of my learning-how-to-cook experience I came up with this most versatile tomato sauce that can be used as a base for many dishes: either thinned out and spiced up for a delicious tomato soup, combined with curry and chicken or vegetables for a quick curry, pureed as tomato sauce for my kids’ pasta. The list is endless.<\/div>\n
This fish stew is another way of using it: make the tomato base, throw in some fish stock, cubed fish fillets and some green leafy vegetables and you have a really nice meal in no time. <\/div>\n
