Home & Property - Fuerteventura: Recipe - Sauce “Irene”

DSCF1134This sauce is an easy-to-make one that fits very well to different kinds of dishes: just with pasta, with white fish or poultry, or as basis for vegetarian food. It also may be used as sauce for the more festive “Lobster dishes”.

1 stem leek
4 stems celery
150g Soy bean sprouts
Olive oil
Cream (or Soy milk)
Soy bean sauce (spicy)
Curry
Pasta: any type, but preferentially long.
