Recipe


Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely chopped carrot
  • 2 cups finely chopped celery
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 × 400g tins diced tomatoes
  • 5 tbsp tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • ½ tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornflour + dash water
  • 500mL water
  • 9 cups cooked navy beans (see note)
  • 2 tsp salt

Method


  • Heat saucepan over medium heat and add carrots and celery, stirring. Turn heat to very low, add garlic and stir. Cover and cook until very soft, about 20–25 mins.
  • Remove lid, add tomatoes, tomato sauce, coconut sugar and Worcestershire sauce and stir. Simmer for 5 mins, then purée in blender until smooth and pour back into pan.
  • Mix cornflour with a little water, and add to tomato mix.
  • Add 500mL of water and stir until sauce boils and thickens. Add beans and simmer for 15 mins, then add salt and stir.
  • Serve immediately or store in fridge or freezer.
  • Note: Navy beans are also called white beans; buy them dried, then soak overnight and cook. For this recipe you can replace them with tinned cannellini beans.
