| Please correct me if I'm wrong, but growing up, I have never seen any of the women in my family use tomato sauce, but rather paste. I always use tomato paste. |

| I have a question regarding the recipe. It says to use 1 tablespoon of tomatoe sauce. However, when I watched women in the Dominican Republic cook this recipe, I am pretty sure that they used tomatoe paste, which is much thicker and more concentrated than sauce. So does the recipe mean tomatoe sauce or paste? Thanks for the clarification. |

| You can use either. Just bear in mind that paste is more concentrated. If I have some home-made tomato sauce available I will use it rather than paste, for a more natural flavour. |

| hi Tia Clara...i have a few questions..im new to the whole cooking thing but I really wanna learn. I am dominican and grew up eating all of these recipes but now that I'm living on my own with my husband, pregnant, and craving (lol) no ones around to make these for me. so my first question is would it taste the same if I use canned beans rather than bagged? (those take all day to get soft.. literally) and my family always use habichuelas romanas..what is the difference? |
