We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Steam the carrots and beets until tender (or roast). Brown the onions and briefly at the end, the garlic with olive oil.

  • Step 2: In a blender mix the carrots, onions, garlic and water (and lemon juice if you are using it). Add the beets carefully as you do not want too much, just enough to have the rich red color of tomato sauce . Blend until it is very smooth .

  • Step 3: Add the spices and blend. Taste and add more spices if need be, or beets for color (small amounts at a time). This recipe tastes better after one day.
