Inspired by ‘Cooked’ by Michael Pollan, tonight I took my time making a bolognese. It’s ‘only’ 90 minutes, but the extra time really makes a big difference to the taste. Seasonal veg from #seasonsupply

Steps

1

Add a splash of olive oil to a large frying pan. Brown the meat. Move into a bowl when done, leaving fat and any burnt bits in the pan.
2

Very finely chop carrots, celery, garlic and onions.
3

Add some more oil to the pan and fry the vegetables for 30 minutes until very soft. Keep them on a low enough heat so they don’t brown.
4

Add the wine to the pan and cook at a high heat until the wine is evaporated
5

Add chopped tomatoes, meat and some salt to season. Cook for 30 minutes on a low heat, so the sauce is just simmering.
6

Add small amounts of water to the sauce if it starts to dry out too much.
7

With 10 minutes to go, start cooking the pasta (adjust time to match packet instructions)
8

Serve all together, with Parmesan on top! Enjoy :) 👨‍🍳
