This is super! I just tried it using some tomato sauce I had and it is yum! Thank you so much!
Dorothy, I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing!!
Is there a brand of tomato paste that you recommend? My understanding is that BPA is a concern in canned tomato products, or is it only a small concern? This recipe and the chicken enchilada recipe look wonderful!
Mandie,
I use Bionaturae tomato paste, which comes in a glass jar.
Marisa, so do I! 🙂 Thanks for sharing! Mandie, I totally agree, BPA is a big concern with tomato products (because they are acidic). I get tomato paste in glass jars.
