OT: What are you Watching/Listening/Drinking?

But seriously, do y'all cook it for the recommended 3 or so hours; or do you have some cheats you like to use?


I've never made the stuff bc it takes too fucking long to do according to the "plan." 😉
 
my 'bolognese' is actually just a meat sauce. sautee garlic onions ground beef/pork tomato paste then add the crushed tomatoes and then fresh basil and simmer for as long as i have.

I don't do the carrot/celery/milk/whatever stew for 8 hours that you're supposed to do.

but mine is fucking delicious.
 
I go longer than 3 hrs personally. The main cheats are using veal, pork and beef instead of just beef, grate veggies on the small holes of your box grater instead of dicing them, good tomato paste in early with your veg to build another layer of flavour. Don't add your wine all at once, deglaze your sofrito with a splash after you've cooked it and the tomato paste down, Pancetta or even guanciale first into the pan and cook your sofrito in evoo and it's fat if you want to go really hard.
 
Ok, I'm now somewhere between Mindz's and zekie's methodologies.

Yo, Deckie: words?




And FUCK this goddam autocorrect fucking bullshit!!!

Guanciale, BTW, is the damn bomb, as you know. Holy moly. . . !




Autocorrect says "Granville" for guanciale. 🙄🤣

I used cherry tomatoes that looked like they needed to be used asap. Tomato paste, Onions, garlic, red wine, (I usually use Chianti but I guess I used the last of it so I went with another red), ground beef. Simmered for about 3 hours. I used some chicken broth as well. Tasted pretty awesome. But I definitely don't follow "the" traditional recipe :p. I mostly follow the spirit of the recipe. If you want that, follow Mindz
