INGREDIENTS
  

  • 2 squash
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 2 white onion
  • 2-3 garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon black ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • parsley for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Let’s start by preparing our veggies for cooking. Wash, peel the squash, and dice into cubes. Do the same with the rest veggies.
  • Prepare the seasoning mix by whisking together tomato paste, salt, pepper, olive oil, nutmeg.
  • Transfer the veggies to your oven-safe cooking bag and top with the seasonings mixture. Massage the veggies until fully covered in the sauce.
  • Poke the bag with a toothpick in several places.
  • Next, transfer the veggie bag on a baking tray to the oven and bake for 50 minutes.
  • When ready, open the bag and place the veggies into a medium to a large pot. At this point, you’ll have some water in your bag. Some people like it, some don’t. I usually like to leave a little water in.
  • Add the second minced garlic clove on top and puree the vegetables with an immersion blender.
  • Taste again for salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the pot to the heated stovetop and take it to a boil, constantly stirring. Be careful, the mixture will start splashing so make sure not to leave it without attention.
  • Remove from heat, let it cool (It is usually served chilled).
  • Garnish with parsley and serve!

NOTES
