Stir in the pepper paste (from above), broth, and tomato sauce. Take your time-over low heat. Then add in the remaining ingredients, one at a time, slowly. Add in sufficient beer to keep the consistency to your liking. Now adjust the spices like a real expert! Cook over low heat 2+ hrs, and you'll have one fine
