Tobie's Bolognese
Tobie PuttockIngredients:
Serves:4-6
- 1 Spanish onion, peeled and finely diced
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and finely diced
- 2 sticks of celery, finely diced
- Small handful of picked rosemary, roughly chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
- Teaspoon dried chili (optional)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil + extra for finishing
- 500g mince such as veal, beef or pork or a combination
- 200ml red wine
- 150ml milk
- 200ml stock
- 2 X (800g) tins chopped tomatoes
- Sea salt and cracked pepper
- Parmesan for grating
Method:
- Heat the 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over a medium/ high heat in a pot that’s large enough to hold all the ingredients. Add the onion, carrot, celery, rosemary, garlic and chili (if using) and sauté while stirring.
- After about ten minutes the vegetables should be soft, increase the heat to high and add the minced meat, break the meat up using the spoon and cook it for 2-3 minutes or until it has started to brown.
- Add the wine and allow it to almost completely evaporate before adding the stock, milk and tomatoes. Bring to the boil and immediately reduce to a gentle simmer for 30-40 minutes or until you have a thick and luscious sauce, at this stage you can adjust the seasoning with a good pinch of salt and pepper.
- To serve ladle hot sauce into a mixing bowl, add hot spaghetti and a splash of best quality extra virgin olive oil. Finish with freshly grated parmesan.
