1 oz basil leaves
50 grams small diced celery100 grams small dice Spanish onions
100 grams chopped garlic
400 g soybean paste
6 oz tomato paste

Directions
This recipe makes a 6 quart instant pot worth and freezes incredibly well. Make a full batch!
In the instant pot on the saute setting sweet your celery and Spanish onions in 2 tablespoons of canola oil. Once translucent add garlic and basil and sweet.
Add the fennel seed, coriander seed, and green zatar and toast lightly.
Add the tomato paste and cook until bright red, do not caramelize! Add the soybean paste and stir to combine.
Add carrots, water, carrot juice, and pressure cook on high for 20 min. Once cooked, release pressure and ladle off a quart of liquid. With a hand blender pulse the mix until it breaks it down into a chunky mixture. Don't over mix or you'll end up with something closer to baby food.
To serve, use the warm bolognese mix to dress your favorite cooked noodles and season with salt, pepper, butter, and sherry vinegar. Top with beemster xo and more black pepper.
