Ok, so we've had the things about you, what you look like, what's your desk look like, size of your wine cellar etc. type threads. What Floats my boat is.... what is your 'signature' dish. I.E. If you had a hot date coming for supper, if you were cooking a sinful supper for yourself, a dish to impress, a combination of your favourite foods etc.
Whats NOT Allowed is anyform of pre-processed or cooked/takeaway/readymeal type stuff. For they art Beezebub in the form of food and shall lead straight to the inferno of eternal damnation. Especially Dominoes and excepting Schwartz Bros Burger company (if you've ever tatsted one of their 'blue cheese veggie burgers )
Mine is my especially tasty 3 hour bolognese that goes well on pasta (fresh) or jacket potatoes or anything else you'd serve with meat sauce..
An equal amount of pork and beef mince (amount depends on servings I use 1/2lb of each and that serves 4) Should be the best quality, cheap stuff aint gonna cut it here, it's a simple recipe so all about quality of ingredients...
1 Large onion
3 fat juicy cloves of garlic
3 bay leaves
Some white wine (the best you can affiord to cook with)
Enough Passata to survive 3 hours of cooking (I use 750ml of both, making 1,5l of liquid to 1Lb of meat)
Salt & Pepper
METHOD:
Soften the onion in plenty of olive oil over a medium heat, when translucent add pork and beef mince and brown.
Crush the garlic and add to the pan along with the bay and and enough pasatta/white wine to cover the mince.
Season to taste.
IMPORTANT BIT
Bring to the boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer. This needs to cook for no less than 2 1/2 hours. Best thing to do is get it going, turn it to the lowest setting your ring will allow and then go out and have some fun while it cooks. You'll come back to the msot succulent pasta sauce ever.
Cook your fresh pasta and stir into the meat sauce,
Garnish as desired (basil/parmesan)
Taught to me by an italian lady who loved her food, they used to do the prep before they went to church and it was ready when they came home.
Reason I'm posting this, is I'm a bit stumped at the mo for stuff to cook, so Ideas purleaze!
