Why these work together
Tomatoes are unusually high in glutamates, the compounds behind savoury depth, so cooking them down concentrates flavour rather than just reducing liquid. That is why a bolognese, a Milanese osso buco and an Indian handi all start the same way, with tomato broken down in fat until it darkens. Tinned tomatoes are usually better than pale fresh ones for anything that simmers.
