Masterchefs of NSC, What would you say is the best Recipe to make a homemade Bolognese sauce?

Much Arguing going on in the office, if a sauce should contain bacon in some instances and chilli in another.

What is your personal favourite?

Has anyone mentioned adding frozen peas yet? Stick your tin helmet on before doing that if not, especially if any Italians working with you...

No chili.

A little bacon is good.

Some red or white wine (I know many scoff at the idea of white wine in the sauce, but that's because you haven't compared the two and you're jumping to conclusions). Some finely diced carrot and celery. Obviously onion. Some full fat milk. Some nutmeg. Preferably some sun dried tomatoes, as well as standard tomatoes.

Milk?

Cook bacon, add, onion, carrot, celery. Remove. Add coarsely minced beef (or beef and pork) to the pan and brown well. Add chicken livers. Put the bacon and veg back in. Add glass of milk and cook till evaporated. Add glass of white wine followed by a can of tomatoes. Cook for as long as you can. Serve with tagliatelle and a grating of parmesan or pecorino.

As above and add a teaspoon of Italian herbs or oregano along with plenty of pepper.

Brown the mince more than you think is necessary before adding anything else to the pan. It makes a huge difference!

Bacon yes. Chilli no. I also add those mushrooms in oil, chopped and drained, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar....oh, and have I mentioned I make my own pasta?

This is pretty much exactly my recipe too, although I always use 60/40 beef/pork mince.

Secret ingredient? A couple of glugs of worcestershire sauce.

Well someone has offered up Sweatcorn, the dirty ********, who puts sweetcorn in a bolognese!!!

It’s not right. Carrots, celery, mushrooms, tomatoes but no sweet corn.
I also avoid wine in food too. Most people don’t know how to use alcohol properly in food so best to leave it.

Bacon and onion for sure. Chilli not required on this occasion. Lashings of parmesan. Obviously.

Start with good quality mince. You can chuck anything you like it, but it’ll be crap if the meat’s cheap.
