"No-Mato" Marinara Sauce - Autoimmune Paleo Protocol

fat of choice (I used bacon grease)

large onion, chopped (about 3 cups)

ribs celery, chopped (about 2 cups)

carrots, chopped (about 8 average carrots, about 2 cups)

medium beets, chopped (about 3 cups)

garlic, pressed or finely minced

juice of 2 lemons

dried basil

dried oregano

dried thyme

dried marjoram

unrefined salt and pepper

dried bay leaves

Cooking liquid. Can use all bone broth or a mixture of broth and filtered water if desired. Use only enough to just barely cover ingredients in pot; use less for a thicker, less watery sauce.
