MYSTICAL RED SAUCE

Nightshade-free and all the richness of a marinara sauce. The shade of red depends on how big a beet you add to the pot.
diet types: Macrobiotic, Vegan, Vegetarian
Ingredients:
--1 lb. carrots, peeled/cut into large chuncks
--2 small beets, peeled/chopped
--2 Spanish onions ***I might only use onion powder or a small quantity of shallot***
--2 stalks celery, chopped
--2 bay leaves
--4 c. water
--2 cloves garlic, minced ***I might use only garlic powder
--1 tsp. dried oregano ***a personal trigger, therefore I'd omit/substitute tarragon and/or parsley--fresh
--1 tsp. dried basil***I would use fresh
--2 Tbsp. arrowroot dissolved in cold water
--2 tsp. salt
--1/4 c. cold water to dissolve arrowroot
Serves: 6
Cooking time: 30-60 minutes
Instructions:
Place vegetables, bay leaves, salt and water in a large pot. Boil until very soft. Remove bay leaves. Puree vegetables, using broth as necessary. In a separate skillet, saute garlic and spices in oil (I would use Pam spray or a little broth or water) and add to sauce. Arrowroot can be added at this point for a glossy sheen and extra body. Simmer 15-30 minutes, allowing flavour to improve. Adjust seasonings to taste.
