Sun dried tomato paste has an intense, sweet flavour & a slightly granier texture than ordinary tomato paste. Not all so called sun dried tomatoes are prepared naturally; some are dried in ovens & the resulting flavour is not as good as the genuine article.

Butter beans have a sweet flavour & a soft texture that goes especially well with tomatoes, but you could also use flageolets or haricot beans.
