3. It's time to introduce your garlic, celery, and carrots while still cooking.
4. Stir for about 6 minutes then season and add the available herbs.
5. Make it brown by adding the tomato paste. Generously add your red wine and cook till it gets fairly dried. Then add your chopped fresh tomatoes and their juice.

You can also sprinkle creamy Polenta or vegan Parmesan. In recent times Vegan Parmesan are available at supermarkets and local stores. Make sure you avoid regular Parmesan as it the not vegan or dairy-free.
What Drink Is Perfect with it
Bear in mind that the best drink you can get in this world is water and blends perfectly with Bolognese. Also, your Montepulciano D’Abruzzo or simple Chianti can go well with this meal.
How To Preserve
Personally, I don’t encourage waste so if you’ve got some leftovers, and you can’t find Vegans around to give then dial my number, lol…
I hope you know I’m joking. Your leftover can be stored in the refrigerator and can stay fresh and perfectly edible for 3 days. Make sure you put it in a good plastic container with a cover lid till you are ready to have it again.
If you want to have your favorite Bolognese again you have to take it out from the fridge and transfer it to a suitable saucepan. Add little water and heat the Bolognese you have in your saucepan till it’s hot enough for consumption. This should take 5-10 minutes.
Can it be made into soup:
This can be achieved with ease, all you have to do to add more water and vegetable stock. This will give you the perfect Lentil Bolognese soup that you can have with bread.
