Categories : Beef Italian
Pasta Vegetables
Sauces
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 Pound Bacon -- chopped
1 Medium Onion -- finely chopped
6 Cloves Garlic -- finely chopped/crush
1 Celery Stalk -- finely chopped
1 Medium Carrot -- finely chopped
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Lb Lean -- ground beef
1 Cup Chicken Or Beef Broth -- (canned consomme is
1 Cup Dry White Wine
4 Cups Canned Peeled Italian Tomatoes -- roughly cut, undrain
1 Small Can Tomato Paste
1 Teaspoon Salt
Freshly Ground Pepper
1 Tablespoon Oregano
1 Dash Red Pepper Flakes
1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg -- freshly grated
In a small skillet or frypan, fry the bacon. Drain off the fat as
it accumulates in the pan. Remove from skillet when bacon is
leathery but not yet crisp. Distribute bacon on one or two paper
towels, roll them up, and give them a good squeeze so the paper
absorbs most of the remaining bacon fat. Set aside. Heat the oil
in a deep, heavy non-aluminum kettle (an enameled cast iron
casserole or large skillet will do) and add the vegetables. Cook,
stirring, over low heat until the onions are translucent and the
vegetables are softened. Add the beef, using a wooden spoon to
break up any lumps. Cook only until the meat loses its raw red
color. Do not let it brown. Add the cooked bacon, broth, and
wine, raise the heat, and cook until the sauce thickens a little.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, oregano, pepper
flakes, and nutmeg, and stir well. Taste and adjust the
seasonings. When the sauce begins to bubble, lower the heat and
simmer very slowly, partly covered, for about 4 hours. Stir
occasionally to prevent sticking. Before serving, taste again for
seasoning and adjust.
This sauce freezes well and keeps for about a week in the
refrigerator. If you cannot find lean ground beef, pick out a
round steak or some sirloin and have the butcher trim and grind it
for you.

1 kilogram Lamb -- lean boneless from t
shoulder cut into 4cm pcs
2 Brown onions
1/2 bn Italian parsley -- leaves only
3 Garlic cloves crushed
1 Capsicum red -- cut into strip
250 milliliters Lamb or beef stock
500 grams Potatoes -- peeled & cut into
4cm pieces

The potatoes should be yellow, waxy ones, such as Petrones or Desirees.
Heat half the oil in a large heavy pot. Brown lamb well in batches and,
using a slotted spoon, remove to a plate. Add remaining oil. Add onion
and cook until softened. Add parsley, garlic and capsicum. Return lamb
to pot, stir and add stock and freshly ground pepper to taste. (Don't
add salt yet as pecorino is a salty cheese) Reduce heat, cover, and

to get on with the many chores involved in throwing a party.
