    Do you add the tomato paste right before serving? A half hour before? I am so confused. :) I am new to this whole cooking healthy thing. . . - 1/4/11

    I usually add the tomato paste and cilantro right about at the end of the 4-hour cooking time. You can add it any time after the stuff is cooked, as long as its still hot. The cilantro would definately need to wait till just before serving. I hope you like it!
