Added 1.5 oz of veal demiglace heated and whisked into 1 C chicken stock; simmered for five hours, not three. Deeper and richer flavor as a result.
So I made this vegan with Beyond Burger Beef + Sausage, if you can believe it. Bolognese was always my favorite as a meat-eater, and dang, the substitutions were just fine! It's a testament to the quality of this sauce, the root veggies, herbs, and richness...the vegan meats were identical to a real bolognese. It was uncanny. Just don't skimp on simmer time...the substitute meats may not take the full 3 hours, but give em at least 2.5.
I used a veal gravy that I had from a veal roast; I don't know if I'll ever get it to be as good again
I’ll adapt this to a pressure cooker for a faster weeknight version
Even with reliably lean wagyu chuck, ground veal and ground pork, needed to drain some fat before moving to wine, tomatoes and stock stage.
Really good but not what i would call a conventional bolognese. The porcini mushrooms added a lot but a much different taste than i remember from a conventional one. Good idea to add a lot more tomato paste. Worth making but would try a regular bolognese next time.
