Homemade vegetable nut recipe

Ingredients: 900 g of clean and cleaned vegetables (including onion and garlic), 300 g of coarse salt, a few leaves of sage herb and rosemary, extra virgin olive oil, 100 ml of water.

Method: Cut in chunks all the vegetables, put them in a large pan with the oil and water, add the aromatic herbs, the salt, cover with a lid and cook on low heat for about 45 minutes, turning often to prevent everything from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Once ready, whisk the vegetables with a mixer, roll out the dough on a baking tray covered with parchment paper and heat at 100 ° for two to three hours, so that the humidity of the vegetables evaporates completely. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon, so that the mixture dries well. When you see the well dried vegetables, let them cool, pass them back to the mixer and then pour them into a glass container that can be closed tightly. Keep your vegetable nut in the fridge for up to a month.
