Condiments - Sauce - -

INGREDIENTS

1 cup vegetable stock
6 T olive oil
1 green pepper, chopped
3 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 head parsley, chopped (without stems)
1 - 1 1/2 t salt
1/8 t garlic
1 t basil
1 t oregano
1/2 t rosemary or coriander

METHOD

Saute onion in half the oil. Stir in herbs and vegetables. Add stock and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Puree in blender. (If you like a texture to the sauce, blend only 3/4 of the vegeatables.) Return sauce to pan with remainder of oil and seasonings. Continue to cook over low heat for 2 or 3 minutes.

NOTES

Makes an ample 2 cups.

Try 'green spaghetti' for an enjoyable change of pace. This is a rich sauce, but so flavourful that a little bit goes a long way. Try it on mixed vegetables, too, with a restrained hand.

"Found these recipes in an old book of my mum's from the 70's (her vegetarian phase as she calls it...) - 'Laurel's Kitchen - A Handbook for Vegetarian Cookery and Nutrition'. Lots of good, simple, interesting food!"
