"Have made this several times and really enjoy it. Good with fresh or canned green beans. I skip the initial heating of oil and tomato paste step - I found it unnecessary - I simply whisk the oil and..." See more tomato paste together in a small bowl and add to the beans and stir - it blends better that way.
