making bolognaise sauce from scratch

kittykat100

My spag bol as follows:

1 onion sweated
1lb of mince cooked with the onion
2 cloves of garlic, pop in once mince is done
2 beef oxo cubes added just before the chopped tomatoes
1 tin of chopped toms add after oxo
1 squirt of tomato puree
A couple splashes of Worcester sauce ( taste test for personal taste)
Then my secret ingredient.... ( a good dollop of tomato ketchup)

Simmer for a while and add salt and pepper to taste.

Add mushrooms with the mince if you fancy them!

Yummy... and fail safe... I know I am rubbish at cooking and can just manage this one lol!

jamie oliver and co also suggest adding a square of good quality chocolate !
my recipe is

onion & garlic softened
add mince and brown
add cubed pancetta & lots of sliced muchrooms
carton of passata
glug of lea and perrins
squirt of tomato puree
tea spoon of marmite
then leave on a low heat for hours preferably ,you need a really rich deep red colour ,and this cant be rushed!


i sometimes add grated carrot,celery and pepper too if they need using up

Glad

half a teaspoon of sugar will sweeten the tomatos

A pinch of nutmeg goes nicely in it too.

Hi Guys,

Defrosted some healthy lean mince overnight in fridge. Was gonna just chuck a jar of Ragu over it (i know, i know,) and serve with spaghetti for tea.

Anyway bit of time on my hands, and fridge packed with veggies, so can i ask how you make you own bolognaise sauce?:D

Any veg that i will be adding will have to be thrown in the blender first, cos if my girls spot so much as a piece of onion, the game will be over!:rolleyes:

Hugs
