Bolognese
Disclaimer: this Bolognese is not traditional, but it's freakin' delicious. I learned how to make it at a restaurant I worked at over 20 years ago, and it's been in regular rotation ever since. The chef who owns the restaurant eventually came out with a cookbook, which I still cherish and reference to this day.
Firstly, here's all of my mise en place:
Here's the garlic (measure with your heart):
Cook the garlic until golden brown
Next, add the carrots and cook until caramelized:
Add the onions, and again, cook until caramelized. We're trying to develop flavors here and it's important to take our time.
Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, port, marsala, chicken stock, and chopped dried porcini
Spend some time breaking up the protein as it heats up, and once it's consistently distributed in the liquid and cooked, add cream, bay leaves, dried basil, red sauce, and tomato paste. Bring up to a near boil, and reduce to a simmer. Let it cook down for several hours over a very low heat.
Serve with pasta. I like to use Rigatoni and reserve a little pasta water to cook it all together in a pot right before serving.
