Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans sliced carrots, drained
1 (15 ounce) can sliced beets, drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
0.25 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 large bay leaf

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
Blend carrots in a blender until completely smooth. Add beets and continue to blend until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
Incorporate the puréed vegetables, vinegar, Italian seasoning, and bay leaf. Cover the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, uncover, reduce the heat to low, and allow it to simmer for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for a richer flavor.
