Essential Bolognese Sauce

Grind your own beef in about the time it would take to open a packet…really. Use chuck, sirloin or any leftover steak you have in the fridge. Effortlessly chop the vegetables, then your homemade bolognese is just a simmer away. Simple and easy. Be sure to make a double batch and freeze half for later.

Instructions

  • 1Assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade in the bowl. Add the vegetables and garlic and process until finely chopped. Remove and set aside.
  • 2Place the beef in the processor bowl and process until minced to your liking, scraping down the bowl occasionally. Remove and set aside.
  • 3Place a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, when hot, add the vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally for 4 minutes, or until translucent and slightly softened. Increase the heat to high, add the beef and cook until browned. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the sugar and salt and stir. Add the freshly ground black pepper and basil. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
  • 4While spaghetti and lasagne are the first cabs off the rank for this delish sauce, it has a whole host of other uses. Sloppy Joes, quesadillas, nachos and baked potatoes love it, while if you mix with a little rice, it makes a sensational stuffing for peppers, pumpkin and zucchini.
