Hi there Eden Cooks. Just came across this corner of the forums and found this club. I do enjoy cooking when i'm not being lazy and procrastinating. I searched the forums and do not believe I saw a thread on this yet. So i'm curious, what is everyone's signature recipe?
This could be a recipe passed down through the family over the years, or something you made up, or a recipe from a book you have tweaked into your own personal flavorful dish. You can share the recipe if you like, or just discuss what it is and why you like it so much.
When I was a teenager my mother would always make what she called "Spaghetti Bolognese" and mm mmmm mmmmmmmm was it good. It can be done from scratch, but however, she kept it more simple with canned tomatoes etc. Here is the recipe if i remember it correctly, also over time I have tweaked the recipe slightly. I no longer really use crushed red peppers, i use ground turkey rather than beef now. Also some of the ingredients I have come to add more of some, less of others until I reached the flavor I enjoyed most. But this is a good starting point. Oh and before i forget, this is basically a Spaghetti sauce with meat in it.
Spaghetti Bolognese
Ingredients:
1LB Ground Beef or Ground Turkey
1 Onion Chopped/Sliced, I usually use Vidalia Onions
2 Medium cans diced tomatos
1 Medium can tomato sauce
1 Small can tomato paste
1/4 cup red cooking wine
1/4 or more Beef broth
Garlic (minced/sliced to taste)
Salt & Pepper
1 TBSP Parsley
1 TBSP Whole Oregeno
1 Tsp Crushed Red Pepper flakes,
Olive Oil
I have a large 12inch deep dish fry pan i use, also called a "Chicken Fryer" for this recipe. Ill add EVOO to the pan and my onions, medium heat is fine. Ill saute these till they are nice and golden yellow/brownish colored, almost caramelized. Add the Ground Beef/Turkey, break it up till it is all brown and no pink on the outside. Turning the heat down lower when the meat is ready ill add the tomato paste and stir that in. Then both cans of diced tomatoes and the can of tomato sauce. Ill mix this in well, then add both the red cooking wine, and beef broth, again stirring. Now ill add my salt, pepper, oregano, parsley etc. Ill make sure everything is mixed up then cover and simmer for a good 20 minutes at least to let all the flavors combine and infuse.
Any questions just let me know, had to rush this post in the end cause i need to go to work haha. But like i said the recipe for me was a starting point, and now I have changed it into my own personal flavor fest of awesomeness. It is one of the best spaghetti sauce's I have ever tried.
