Clear a space in the center of the pan again and add in the tomato paste. Stir and cook until fragrant and slightly darkened in color about 1 -2 minutes. Combine all of the ingredients in the pan together.

Cover pan then place over small burner and low heat. Allow to slowly simmer and cook until heated through allowing the flavors to meld -10 minutes.
