1
Preheat the cooking vessel by heating the bacon drippings over a moderate to high flame. Combine the flour with the bacon drippings and cook, stirring persistently, until it reaches a light brown hue. Gradually introduce water into the flour mixture while whisking vigorously. Incorporate the tomato paste into the mixture and continue to cook until it starts to thicken, stirring constantly. Decrease the heat to a low setting and let it simmer until it reaches the desired consistency, approximately 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
