Add red pepper, paprika, and cumin.  If you have Aleppo peppers, use that instead.  I need to go back to the spice store.

Tomatoes come in a box now.  And these are some good tomatoes.  Deglaze pan with white wine, add a pinch of saffron, a couple of bay leaves, and let simmer for 10 minutes or so.
