This recipe seems off. The instructions say to simmer for 30 min, but there was hardly any liquid with which to simmer. I covered the pan and let it go about 15 min, then added the tomato paste. Knowing this was to be served over rice, I wasn’t happy with the sauces-ness, so I added another 1/4 cup (4 T) tomato paste and about 1/4 cup more wine. That helped, but still didn’t think it had much depth of flavor. Added a chunk of butter to the rice. It tasted good, but not good enough to make again.
