Sauce Piquante Pot question

Going to cook a sauce piquante using my cast iron Dutch oven. I know your not supposed to cook tomato stuff in cast iron. Why is it ok to cook a sauce piquante in cast iron since it will have tomato products in the sauce piquante?

Dang man. I'm stumped on this one.
ETA Cast iron is the best to cook a roux in so maybe that's it.

The cooking tomatoes in cast iron isn't that big of a deal with a well used pot since it has a good seasoning layer built up. The acid can strip away some of the seasoning, and there may be a slight metallic taste. It would be fine if it's an old pot imo, but steer clear for newer stuff.

I know I'm stumped too not sure what to think. I might just cook it like a roast instead.

I dunno, man.
I do my meatballs and spaghetti in a cast iron skillet. That's how my MawMaw did it, so that's how I do.
Never had a problem with it messing up the pot or leaving any taste in red gravy.

I went to a sauce Picaunte cookoff with 10 contestants. 8 of the 10 had cast iron pots. The peoples choice champions used an aluminum pot.
ETA. I tasted all of them and there was no real metallic taste to any of them.

Most sauce piquant recipes are not that super heavy on tomatoes,which is the acid source. They are in there, but they have lots of company.

I didn't know there was another option for a sauce piquant.
I've cooked well over 100 Ville Platte sauce piquants in my cast iron pot over the last 20 years.
