I have been looking for inspiration for cooking and have found some recipes via this website. Brilliant!!  Can someone please tell me if tomato sauce (American recipe from Southwest Cookbook) is the same as in the UK.  In other words is it sauce in a bottle?  In the UK we have HP or Heinz tomato sauce, or would the recipe mean tomatoes in a tin?

I am confused as I thought tomato products were banned, sort of, for dialysis patients.

The recipe is for Mexican Pasta using tomato sauce.  Please can someone shed some light on this.

Many thanks

Denise

Welcome to the forum.

Most recipes for renal patients will cut down the amount of tomatoes.  There is an alternative red pepper sauce recipe below, but it still has tomato sauce in it.  :)
And yes, tomato sauce is generally peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes cooked with seasoning and oil and butter:

* Roasted Red Pepper Sauce adds 37 mg potassium and 21 mg sodium for one tablespoon. This lower-potassium, low-sodium sauce can be used as a substitute for tomato sauce in a variety of dishes.

I am sure they mean it a "tin".

I don't think it matters much if it's in a bottle or a tin, tomato sauce is still a potassium disaster. 1 oz tomato paste = 1 banana

In American recipes, "tomato sauce" is pureed, cooked tomatoes in a can (tin). I think the UK equivalent is passata. The UK "tomato sauce" you refer to is ketchup in the US. UK tomato puree = US tomato paste.

And, yeah, if you're watching potassium at all, any cooked tomato product should be avoided, or eaten only in small amounts.

Thank you so much for your replies.  I had forgotten about Passata here in the UK, and the term ketchup, which Restorer mentions.

Looks like my Mexican pasta might be off the menu. 

Have a great weekend everyone.  Denise

Wow- what a person can learn here.  I had no idea tomatoes were that high in potassium.  Strange that with as much cooking as we do with tomatoes that I have had to take potassium  supplements.  I just did some web research to find out if Canned Tomatoes were worse than fresh...no difference.  I guess that substitution of Sweet Red bell peppers maybe in my future!
