Vegan Bolognese Sauce

Ingredients

• 100 g of soy granules
• 1 kg tomatoes
• 2 medium-size onions
• 4 cloves of garlic
• oil for cooking
• 1 tbsp oregano
• 1/2 tbsp thyme
• 1 tbsp basil
• 1 tsp jaggery
• salt and pepper to taste
Method

Soak the soy granules in hot water until the water is absorbed. Strain in a sieve and press to remove excess water. Rinse with fresh water, strain and press again. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan, add the soya and stir-fry until golden brown.

In another pan, fry the garlic and chopped onions over a low flame until they become translucent. In the meantime, chop the tomatoes and put them in a blender/mixer and reduce to a pulp. Add them to the onions along with the herbs and jaggery. Cover and cook over a low flame for 20 minutes.

Add the soy and cook for 10 minutes longer or until all the water is absorbed and the sauce thickens. Serve with your favourite pasta.

Serves 4-6.
