VEGETABLE SAUCE RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Clean, rinse and chop the vegetables.
• In a big cooking pan, mix all ingredients together except salt and black.
• Cook it for 15 minutes.
• Add black pepper and salt to taste; cook for five minutes; remove from heat.
• P.S. The sauce could be used with rice; for garnishing baked fish or meat and as a dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add oil to the warm pot and heat until shimmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, celery, and carrots; cook and stir until the onion has turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and bell pepper; cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Make a well in the center of the veggies and add garlic to the bottom of the pot. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, then stir garlic into the veggies. Stir in wine and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, tomato paste, and then all 4 cans of tomatoes. Break up tomatoes with a potato masher.
• Puree sauce with an immersion blender until all veggies and tomatoes are broken up and smooth. Cook sauce until hot and bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Add parsley, oregano, basil, 1 tablespoon salt, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Let sauce cool completely, then store in the refrigerator until flavors marry, 8 hours to overnight.
• Transfer 1- or 2-cup portions of sauce into airtight containers or 1-quart resealable plastic freezer bags and store in the freezer for up to 4 to 6 months.
