Smoky West African Tomato Sauce

This smoky tomato sauce is foundational to West African cooking, the same base that chef Pierre Thiam has cooked with at Teranga since 2019. Made with all-natural ingredients and no preservatives: smoked paprika for depth, slow-cooked onions for a slight sweetness, and habanero for a subtle warmth that builds without taking over. Use it anywhere you'd reach for tomato sauce. It's especially good in jollof rice, pasta, shakshuka, and stews. Bold African flavor, endless ways to cook.
