Tomato is such a distinctive flavor... what type of recipes are you looking to substitute tomato in? If it is just a tablespoon or two, possibly red wine or bouillon might work.
How will you be using the alternative ingredient? If as a large volume in a dish, maybe go for another vegetable, chopped or pureed. If as garnish to a finished dish, go for another savoury sauce you like...Bearnaise, Hollandaise, green goddess, whatever goes with the main ingredient. If as a tablespoon or two for umami go for another sauce you like in small amounts....for example, fish or Worcestershire sauce, hoi sin, barbecue sauce, Thai peanut sauce.
