Recipe From
Ingredients
2 red onions
2 carrots
2 small bulbs of fennel
½ a head of celery
2 red peppers
½ a butternut squash (600g)
olive oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
3 x 400g tins of plum tomatoes
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7. Peel the onions, wash and trim the carrots, fennel and celery, deseed the peppers and squash (there’s no need to peel it), then roughly chop it all.
- Place the veg in a large high-sided roasting tray, and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the dried rosemary and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
- Cover tightly with tin foil and roast for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and roast for a further 30 minutes, or until soft and caramelized.
- In three batches, blitz one third of the veg with one tin of tomatoes and half a tin of water (swirl it around the tin), then season to perfection – whether you go super-smooth or a little bit chunky is up to you.
- Divide between reusable bags or containers, and pop in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Tasty meals await – like my Fragrant spicy fish soup!
