Test-Kitchen Tips: For firm canned black beans rather than the usual mushy, overprocessed specimens, we prefer the Goya brand.: If you use tomato paste in small quantities, consider buying a tube of one of the imported Italian brands. The tube lasts a long time in the refrigerator, just like anchovy paste, so you won't have to open a whole can for one or two tablespoons.
