Quick tomato sauce

4 servings

10 minutes

Quick tomato sauce is the essence of Georgian cuisine, where simplicity meets rich aromas. This sauce embodies the spirit of traditional Georgian flavor: spicy, slightly sweet, and deeply herbal thanks to fresh cilantro and dill. Its ease of preparation makes it an ideal choice for those wanting to quickly add brightness to dishes. Historically, such sauces were always on hand in Georgian homes to accompany meat, vegetables, or bread. Garlic adds expressiveness to the sauce, while the balance of tomato paste's acidity and a pinch of sugar creates harmony of flavors. It pairs perfectly with roasted meats, kebabs or simply as a zesty dressing for vegetables and bread. This sauce is a true gastronomic bridge between simplicity and sophistication.
