Cooking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 60 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 5 medium carrots
- 1 small celery
- 2 large onions
- 1 kohlrabi
- 3 parsley roots
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 bunch of lovage
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 1 bunch of dill
- 1 celery leaf
- salt and pepper, to taste
- oil for sautéing
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons of sour cream

Preparation:

1. Preparing the vegetables: The first step is to ensure that all the vegetables are clean and ready to use. Peel the carrots, celery, onion, kohlrabi, and parsley. Cut the carrots, kohlrabi, and parsley roots into small cubes, and slice the onion into fine julienne. Grate the celery on a large grater to enhance its aroma.

2. Sautéing the vegetables: In a large pot, add a little oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until it becomes transparent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the carrots, celery, kohlrabi, and parsley. Sprinkle a little salt to help the vegetables release their juices and let them sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Boiling the vegetables: Add enough water to the pot to cover the vegetables. Let it simmer on low heat for 20 minutes until the vegetables are almost cooked. This step is essential to blend the flavors and create a delicious base for the sauce.

4. Flavoring the sauce: When the vegetables are almost cooked, add the crushed garlic cloves, peeled and diced tomato, sliced red bell pepper, celery leaf, finely chopped lovage, and freshly ground pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.

5. Thickening the sauce: In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of sour cream. Gradually add a little of the warm sauce into the sour cream mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once the mixture is smooth, pour it back into the pot. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens.

6. Finishing the sauce: Finally, add the finely chopped parsley and dill. Taste the sauce and adjust the salt and pepper according to your preferences. Now, the sauce is ready to serve!

Serving suggestion: This vegetable sauce pairs perfectly with pork roast, but feel free to use it with other types of meat, such as chicken or beef. You can also serve it alongside a side of mashed potatoes or creamy polenta.

Nutritional benefits: This sauce is packed with vegetables, making it a healthy choice. Carrots are a good source of beta-carotene, while celery and parsley are rich in antioxidants. Garlic has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and tomatoes provide lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.
