Vegetarian Meat Sauce Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• In a large pot at medium-high heat, add the olive oil and carrots to the pot. Cook the carrots for about 10 minutes until they start to brown slightly.
• Next add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, celery, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to the pot and cook until the vegetables are caramelized and tender.
• Add the tomato paste, stir it into the vegetables, and allow the tomato paste to brown deeply. It should be very aromatic before moving forward.
• Add the canned tomatoes and water, bring the sauce to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the sauce for at least 1 hour.
• Add the sauce to a blender in batches or use an immersion blender to puree the sauce to your desired consistency.
• Let the sauce cool completely and then pour the sauce into freezer-safe bags. Place the bags into a leak-proof container/tray, and freeze for up to one month.
• Reheat the frozen sauce with ½ cup (120 ml) of water in a pot until it comes to a boil and then use as desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium high-walled skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the ground beef, onion, and salt. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add the Prego® Traditional Italian Sauce and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce is warmed through.
• Serve the sauce over pasta.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the mushrooms and onions until broken into uniformly fine pieces, about 10 pulses, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
• Pour the mushrooms and onions into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the veggies have released moisture and softened, about 8 minutes.
• Add the garlic and oregano. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Push the veggies to the sides of the pan and add the tomato paste, slowly mixing in the veggies from the side until a uniform paste has formed.
• Add the crushed tomatoes and stir until well combined and thick.
• Add the vegetable stock and stir until the sauce has thickened slightly. Reduce the heat to medium-low if it is bubbling and popping too much.
• While the sauce simmers, place the chickpeas in the food processor and pulse until broken into fine pieces, about 10 pulses.
• Pour the chickpeas into a fine mesh strainer and submerge in a medium bowl filled with water.
• Shake the strainer for 1 minute to remove starches from the chickpeas. You'll know when to remove the strainer when the water has become very cloudy from the starches.
• Transfer the chickpeas to the sauce and stir for at least 1 minute to give the chickpeas time to cook.
• Use the sauce as desired for pasta, veggie noodles, calzones, etc..
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place chopped onion, garlic, sauce, and diced tomatoes in juice in a pot over medium heat so it starts to simmer.

• Drain pasta and place onto serving plate topped with your vegetarian meat sauce.
• Add additional green onion or herbs on top if desired.
• Serve with a salad or italian bread.

Steps:

• Cut the cauliflower in half and break it into small florets.
• Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they break down to rice-size pieces. Remove from the processor and set aside.
• Add the mushrooms to the food processor and pulse until broken down to rice-size pieces.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for about 4 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
• Add the cauliflower, mushrooms, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, soy sauce, salt, and pepper and stir. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the cauliflower and mushroom mixture is tender and the water released from the mushrooms has evaporated.

• If you have leftovers, the cauliflower "meat" will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for about 2 days.
