To make the sauce that will soak up all the delicious flavors of the spices, you will need tomato paste, onions, and peanut butter for a pop of flavor.

Using canned tomato paste for the recipe ensures two things: that the sauce is full of flavor and that it is nutrient dense! Aside from containing important nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and potassium, canned tomatoes are rich in lycopene. Canned tomatoes are extremely rich in lycopene because the tomatoes are cooked prior to being canned. The lycopene in cooked tomatoes is much easier for our bodies to absorb, making them an extremely nutritious option! Lycopene is important to have in the diet to protect against heart disease and cancer.
