Step 1
Into a food processor place 1/2 of the
Mushrooms (4 cups)
and process until finely ground. Remove mushrooms from the processor and repeat with the other 1/2 of mushrooms. When you process the mushrooms there will be larger chunks left as you process but don’t keep going. You don’t want to over-process them.
Step 2
Into the food processor add your
Raw Walnuts (1 cup)
and process till finely ground. Transfer walnuts to the bowl with the mushrooms.
Step 3
Into a large soup pot add your
Olive Oil (2 Tbsp)
and heat on medium-high heat for around 20 seconds before adding your mushroom and walnut mixture. Cook for around 6-8 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning. Cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the mixture has browned beautifully.
Step 4
Into the same food processor add your
Onion (1)
,
Celery (2 ribs)
,
Carrots (3)
, and
Garlic (4 cloves)
. Process till finely ground, but before the colors blend.
Step 5
Remove the mushroom and walnut mixture from the pot and transfer to a bowl.
Step 6
Into the same pot add your onion mixture and cook on medium heat for around 5-6 minutes, or until browned and fragrant. If the mixture starts to sticks to the bottom of the pot, simply add a little water bit by bit to help loosen the browned parts.
Step 7
To the mixture add your
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1/2 tsp)
,
Ground Cinnamon (1 tsp)
,
Ground Cloves (1/2 tsp)
,
Dried Basil (2 Tbsp)
,
Dried Parsley (1 Tbsp)
, and
Bay Leaf (1)
. Stir till well combined. Cook for around 1-2 more minutes.
Step 8
Now, push the cooked onions mixture to the sides and makes room for the
Tomato Paste (1/4 cup)
. Cook on its own for a minute or so or until browned. Once browned stir the tomato paste into the onion mixture and transfer your walnut and mushrooms to the pot.
Step 9
Stir till well combined, increase heat and add your
Tomato Passata (1 bottle)
and
Vegetable Broth Paste (2 Tbsp)
. Cook for around 5 minutes before adding your
Water (2 cups)
and bringing the mixture to a boil.
Step 10
Pot on your pot lid and simmer for around 25-30 minutes. Before serving taste for
Salt (to taste)
and
Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
and add as needed.
Step 11
Enjoy with your favorite pasta, garnished with parsley and a side of garlic toast!
