Ingredients
  • 3 lbs carrots
  • 3 beets
  • 2 large yellow onions
  • 8 cloves garlic
  • ⅓ cup olive oil + 2 Tbsp
  • 6 cups or filtered water
  • 3 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 tsp tried basil
  • 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar (any can be used)
  • Optional: as many greens as you like (beet, carrot top, parsley, spinach, arugula, chard)
Instructions
  1. Start by making a garlic infused olive oil. This will be added to the sauce before blending.
  2. Peel and finely chop garlic.
  3. Heat ⅓ cup olive oil on the stove top for about a minute. Add garlic and cook for around a minute or until garlic is just starting to turn the lightest brown. Don't overcook. Once it starts to turn brown it can go quickly. Remove from heat and allow to infuse while you cook the sauce.
  4. Peel and chop carrots, onion and beets. Set aside.
  5. In a large pot add 2 Tbsp olive oil and onions. Saute until translucent.
  6. Add carrots, beets, dried herbs, sea salt and vinegar.
  7. Add 6 cups of filtered water, more or less, to fully cover veggies.
  8. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a high simmer.
  9. Cook uncovered for 30-60 min or until all veggies are very tender.
  10. Scoop just the veggies in a high power blender and a little of the water from the pot if needed along with the garlic infused olive oil and optional greens.
  11. Blend on high in batches until smooth.
  12. Add each batch of sauce back to the pot or a large bowl. You will mix all blended batches together before storing. Add additional salt to taste.
  13. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or the freezer for a few months.
