Vegetable Bolognese

[bond]

I'm wanting to make a vegetable bolognese (I'm not vegetarian) with onions, garlic, bell peppers, carrots and mushrooms. I'm not sure whether to keep it chunky, or should I cut these ingredients quite finely to mirror how minced beef would be, any thoughts?

keep it chunky but not too chunky

Add a little chopped celery,it’s crunchy.

Chunky would be my choice.

Chunky, add the celery, it works well.

Definitely include the celery and mix up the chopping. I chop the onions, garlic and celery finely and dice the carrots small. As I add the other ingredients I leave them more chunky. Courgette if you have one, peppers, and then mushroom as chunky as you like. All finished with a tomato sauce and plenty of basil.

I like it maydup!

I'd do the mushrooms minced very finely...and lots of them. They will mimic meat in texture and mouth feel. The other veg can vary in size.
