For this one, I do think just making sure you have the right total amount of liquid - 8 oz. - will be key in success. Using paste w/some water instead of sauce will probably just result in richer tomato flavor. :) Katie Farhaana,

Can I use 4 oz. of tomato paste and mix it with 4 oz. of water? Do you know what the ratio might be? Btw...I've been going through your website all day and planning my menu and shopping list for the week. Thank you for sharing with us all :) How can I use tomato paste instead of tomato sauce?

My husband loves the spanish rice, and this was more mexican, so tonight I made it spanish! I used a can of diced tomatoes with green chiles (all out of jars :( ) instead of the paste, cut out the beans (we had them on the side) and did the rest as above. My husband said that they were "almost" as good, but I think it's because I went shy on my seasonings, and next time I will increase that, and they will be perfect. Yay! Thank you so much!

The only way to keep the water for this one is if you could determine a way to cook the beans and then add the rice at just the right amount. That would be a possible way to use the water, but might change the taste. :) Katie Angie,

The chili recipe I use says to drain and rinse the beans before adding them. I always hate to throw out all that good cooking water. It seems like it would have so many nutrients in it, but it would definitely affect the consistency. Thanks! Angie Hi Katie,
