This recipe requires tomato paste and a can of entire peeled tomatoes. why each? each add tomato flavors however in several methods.

Add the tomato paste first and sauté (with the onions) till the tomato paste is a deep brick purple. this provides the ultimate dish a deeper, virtually caramelized tomato taste. provides depth and complexity (with little or no effort).

recipe requires one giant 28-ounce can of entire peeled tomatoes. the tomatoes (plus the juices from the can) make up the “sauce” a part of this stew. don’t fret about reducing into the tomatoes, they’re going to break down naturally on their very own throughout the two-hour simmer interval.
