Ragu Bolognese

[AndyGray]

Tried making an original recipe yesterday - but found it lacking taste compared to the one I usually make.

Many of the ingredients I use (like garlic!) is considered non-kosher by the Italian Culinary Academy.

So, what goes into your personal version of this pasta favourite?

 

[coollino]

Beef stock
Pancetta
Celery
Carrot
Onion
Little splash of milk added now and again (enzymes break down the days)
Some tomato puree (not tinned)
Red or white wine (whatever is open really)

Cooked for a few hours or so. I sometimes put garlic in, sometimes not. A mistake people often make is they make the sauce a tomato based sauced and not a meat based Ragu.

i do a healthy one - garlic, onion,celery,carrot, low fat beef mince, little red wine, tomato puree,tinned plum tomatoes and oregano

and a non healthy one which is the same except half pork, half beef mince and bacon with more wine

the traditional one is alot drier

If @Joey66 suggests adding Makaway Curry Sauce, I`d place him on ignore for a bit.

In a large pot, gently fry, in 2 tbsp of Olive Oil, Onion Carrot and Celery for 5-8 mins. Then add salt, pepper and 3 chopped cloves of garlic to the veg and reduce to a low heat and cover. Fry pancetta in a frying pan on a high heat. Once the edges are starting to crisp, add a tbsp of oil and 500g of beef mince. Once completely seared combine with the veg. Add glass of red wine. Increase the heat to High and let the ingredients fry together until the wine is absorbed. Add 300ml of Beef Stock, 1 tbsp of concentrate tomato puree, 2 tins of chopped tomatoes, 1 tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce, 1 tbsp of lemon juice and 1 tsp of sugar. Sprinkle in 2 tbsp of Italian or Mixed Dried Herbs then stir and reduce heat to simmer. Stir every half hour and check the seasoning. After 4 hours, increase the heat to reduce the liquid to the required level. Add fresh chopped basil before serving.

Enjoy!

Tomato, basil, oregano if you want it. Nothing more.
