This looks great! I can actually see this being very good over rice and beans .

Just one question - I noticed that the directions mention tomato paste but I didn't see that in the list of ingredients. How much tomato paste should we add here?

Hmmm. I haven't see the person who posted this around for a while. I guess I'd probably add a couple T's to start and see how I liked it. If I open a can of tomato paste and don't use the whole thing, I put the leftover in an ice cube tray and freeze it. Then bag it and I have ready made portions...1 oz...for use later.
