      I am partial to a combination of tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and a hardy beef sauce. It's great when married up with Shredded Beef Stuffed Cabbage Rolls. The dish is a labor of love, well worth the effort! Garlic, Crushed Red Peppercorn, Marjoram, Tomato Paste, and boiled rice is mixed with the Shredded Beef. Herbed Rice Pilaf is great with this dish. I also add a half cup of Fideo or Orzo with the Herbed Rice Pilaf. Fabulous!
