Vegan Bolognese Sauce

Prep time: 25 minutes

Simmering time: Time for a real sauce, long and good              

Serving Size: Makes a good liter and a half or about 3 large Mason jars.   

A fall season classic is of course spaghetti sauce! It's so comforting to let it simmer all afternoon and fill the house with its heavenly aromas. You can make a huge amount and then freeze it in small portions to last all winter. We know that your family recipe is probably THE best, but we suggest you try our vegan version prepared with tofu for the perfect Bolognese sauce texture.

 

  • 3 cups (750 ml) blanched Italian tomatoes or equivalent in a can
  • 1 cup (250 ml) firm tofu, crumbled
  • 1 cup (250 ml) water
  • 4 stalks celery, cut into very small pieces

Heat a cauldron containing at least 3 liters of liquid over medium heat.

Add the canola oil, sunflower oil, celery, carrots, onions, garlic and peppers and let simmer gently for about 30 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients except lemon juice and miso.

Simmer at least 45 minutes over low heat or until you like the texture. Add a little water if you prefer it more liquid.
