Introduction

Adapted from The Vegetarian Times Complete Cookbook, this vegetarian sauce lends itself well as a topping to Boca Burgers, soy crumbles, or even TVP for the ultimate "veggie beef bourgoigne" experience! I serve this atop a Boca Original Vegan Burger (warmed in the microwave, although a palate-pleasing option is to simmer several defrosted burgers in enough sauce to cover) set in a bed of low-fat mashed potatoes for a delightful vegetarian "comfort food" dish that is tasty, nutritious, and low in calories! Bon Appetit!

Ingredients

    1 cup minced onion
    1 cup diced carrots
    1/2 cup diced celery
    3 cloves minced garlic
    3 cups water
    1 tbsp tomato paste
    1 cup red wine
    2 tbsp dry red wine vinegar
    salt to taste (nutrition facts are calculated using 1/4 tsp)
    1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves (or 1 tsp dried)
    1/2 tsp dried thyme
    1 tsp dried basil
    1/2 tsp white pepper
    1/3 cup cold water
    2 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch (nutrition facts calculated using cornstarch)
    1 cup white mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
    I Can't Believe it's Not Butter Original Buttery Spray or other non- or low- calorie spray for sauteing (5 sprays of ICBiNB were used to calculate nutrition facts)

Directions

1. Toss the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and a little water in a skillet over medium heat, stirring, for 5 minutes.
2. Transfer the sauted veggies to a large pot and stir in all remaining ingredients EXCEPT 1/3 cup water, cornstarch (or arrowroot, if using), mushrooms, and ICBiNB.
3. Bring pot to boil, cover with the lod ajar, and simmer until vegetables are tender (about 15 to 20 minutes)
4. In a small skillet, saute the sliced mushrooms in cooking spray just until soft, then add to pot.
5. Whisk together the cold water and cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) in a small bow until smooth. Pour slowly into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly.
6. Lower the heat and continue stirring as the sauce thickens and becomes shiny, about 5 minutes.
7. If necessary, add more cornstarch or arrowroot, 1 tsp at a time, until the sauce thickens to desired consistency.
