Tomato sauce is a kitchen staple; unfortunately, tomatoes contain lectins that are harmful to types A and B. Rather than depriving yourself of the delicious flavors of a classic red sauce, why not adapt it to your blood type? This “nomato” recipe mixes beets and carrots with the usual blend of herbs and spices to give you a sauce that will be nearly indiscernible from the tomato sauce of your childhood. Keep the recipe handy for use on pizzas, pastas and proteins.
