Vegetarian sauce with vegetables – A simple and delicious recipe Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 20 minutes Total time: 30 minutes Servings: 4 In search of a quick and healthy recipe, a vegetarian sauce full of vegetables can be the perfect solution. Not only is it easy to prepare, but it pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or can be used as a filling for various dishes. Let’s get started! Ingredients: - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil - 1 medium onion, finely chopped - 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced - 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced - 200 g champignon mushrooms, sliced - 2 cloves of garlic, minced - 400 g diced tomatoes (canned or fresh) - 1 teaspoon dried oregano - Salt and pepper to taste - Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish Step 1: Heating the oil In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. It’s important to use quality olive oil as its flavor will enhance the taste of the sauce. Step 2: Sauté the vegetables Add the chopped onion and carrots to the skillet. Let them sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the carrots start to soften. This step is essential to develop a flavorful base for your sauce. Step 3: Add the remaining vegetables Once the onion and carrots are sautéed, add the bell pepper and sliced mushrooms. Continue to sauté the mixture for another 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their juice and become slightly golden. These vegetables add a pleasant texture and savory taste to the sauce. Step 4: Flavor the sauce Now it’s time to add the minced garlic and mix well. Garlic adds a depth of flavor. After about a minute, add the diced tomatoes and oregano. Mix the ingredients well. Step 5: Simmer the sauce Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes. This cooking time allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the skillet. Step 6: Season Finally, taste the sauce and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking. If you want a fresher note, add a few chopped fresh basil leaves. Serving: This vegetarian sauce is perfect served over al dente pasta, rice, or vegetable dishes. Pair it with a fresh green salad on the side, and for an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle grated parmesan on top (if you are not observing a vegetarian diet). Possible variations: - You can also add other vegetables such as zucchini or eggplant to diversify the recipe. - If you want a spicier sauce, add chili flakes or a bit of chili sauce. Practical tips: - Make sure the vegetables are cut evenly for uniform cooking. - Use fresh tomatoes in season for a more intense flavor, but canned tomatoes are an excellent alternative year-round. This vegetarian sauce is not only a healthy option but also a delicious recipe that will delight your taste buds. Experiment and adapt it to your preferences!
