Instructions
- COMBINE onion, carrot and celery in a food processor. Pulse, scraping down side as needed, until chopped into 1/4-in. pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Pulse mushrooms, in batches, until chopped into 1/2-in. pieces, then transfer to bowl with vegetables.
- HEAT a pot over medium. Add 2 tbsp oil, then vegetables and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetable mixture appears dry, 9 to 10 min.
- DRAIN beans into a bowl, reserving liquid. Whirl beans in a food processor until puréed. Add 2 to 3 tbsp of reserved liquid until mixture is smooth and measures a heaping 1 1/2 cups.
- ADD remaining 2 tsp oil, garlic, tomato paste, paprika and cinnamon to the vegetables. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture starts to stick to pan, about 2 min. Add wine and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in bean purée, broth, tomatoes and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until thick, 18 to 20 min. Discard thyme sprigs before serving. Serve over pasta or polenta.
Sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a vegan-friendly cheesy flavour.
