The search for the ultimate bowl of comfort food is finally over with this warm and nourishing Vegan Leek Bolognese. This recipe is super quick and easy because almost everything is pre-prepped and ready to chuck in!

Made with Vivera Plant Mince, this recipe makes a great vegan and vegetarian alternative for traditional bolognese sauce. You have all the texutre of traditional bolognese in a delicious veggie packed variation. From leeks to carrots to green chillies, this bolognese is full of veggie goodness. For added flavour, I used a little bit of nutmeg, which is great for adding extra warmth to your dish, and some chopped green chillies for a kick of heat

Time Efficiency in the Kitchen

To be as time efficient as possible, almost all ingredients used for this Vegan Leek Bolognese are pre-prepped and ready to be thrown into the mix. Having certain ingredients pre-chopped and stored in the fridge is a great way to increase time efficiency. For example, I always keep a pot of chopped garlic ready in my fridge. I also used Mr Organic Organic Chopped Tomatoes which helped cut down on prepping time.
