This is me cooking a large batch of pasta sauce. Feel free to comment and come with suggestions on how I can improve my cooking. This is sort of a Danish version of bolognese sauce but there are some differences.

These are my ingredients.

1.1kg of minced beef (10-14% fat)

Onions
Cellery
Carrots
Mushrooms
Chopped tomatoes
Tomato paste
Green pesto
Red wine
Alot of herbs and spices.

I wash all the vege carefully and peel the onions. Then I chop it finely. Its very important that its finely chopped otherwise it wont be nice to chew.

Put some olive oil in a pot and heat it up. You can check how hot it is by testing the oil with a small piece of onion. If it sizzles you can throw in all the vegetables.

Fry them in the pot for a bit until the onions begin to turn clear and then a bit more. Dont burn them or let them turn brown though.

Start browning the meat. Here its important that you dont add too much meat. You want to brown and sear the meat a little go get out the taste. If you add too much meat too quickly, the whole thing might become too wet and you end up boiling the meat instead.

I freeze it. Its like 6-8 servings depending on how many vegetables and you add in the sauce.

I start out by browning half of the meat and then adding the second. Remember to spice it well with salt and pepper at this state.

I dump some pesto in there. Doesnt matter if its green or red. You can even use both. Its a bit expensive but it adds extra flavour and blends well with the rest of the sauce.

I also added some tabasco and some worschestershire sauce. (did i spel lthat correctly?)

I wish I had fresh herbs but they are quite expensive over here. A plant is like 6-7 dollars and its usually just enough for one of these batches. It makes it a lot more expensive but also better to have fresh herbs.

At this point I let the sauce sit for about 2-3 hours on low simmer. I stirr every 20 minutes or so. Its important to let it sit and simmer as it develops the taste. If you have a taste of it at this point and it seems a little bland then dont worry. It will get better by simmering. Dont panic and start adding spices just yet.

scene ciesaerd

After a couple of hours I chop some mushrooms and add them. I used to add them in the beginning with the vegetable but I have since found out that it tastes better to add them later so they maintain some of their delicious mushroomy texture.

Add them, stir well and let it sit for another 1-2 hours. The longer you have the better.

This is what it looks like after simmering for awhile with no stirring. At this point you can start tasting it and see if you need to add more spices. I like mine spicy but not to the point where you cannot taste the ingredients. At the end you just gotta try for yourself.

At this point the sauce has cooked for 4 hours. I put it outside in the cold to chill over night. If its not cold enough where you live put it in the fridge but wait until it has cooled a bit otherwise you will heat the fridge up a lot.

Letting it sit over the night again enhances flavour. A sauce has spent the night in the cold tastes a lot better when reheated. I pack them into portion sized bags and freeze it all for later.

Usually I also eat this the night that I cook it. I didnt take a picture of it though.

Start out by forming your burger patty into the same shape as whatever bun you are using. Make sure its slightly larger than the bun as it might shrink a bit as it gets heated.

Dont work the meat too much. I like to maintain the "minced" structure of the meat as much as possible as I prefer a fluffy patty over a dense patty. Scratch the surface of the meat and then spice it well with salt and pepper.

Final product is in the pot. Do you want to see a pic of the frozen package or did you want to see it on top of some spaghetti? I didnt take a picture of that I am afraid.

Chop your vegetables and make sure you slice them rather thinly so your burger doesnt become too fat. I like to add many ingredients so if I am not careful its impossible to eat the burger.

Woah there take it easy tough guy. If you dont have the imagination to picture that sauce on some pasta then I am afraid you arent intelligent enough to cook it in the first place.

Why are you posting on this board again?


Anyway: After slicing your vegetables and preparing the patty start out by putting the bacon on a pan. I dont use anything when I fry bacon, it is greasy enough on its own.

Then I add a little bit of putter and fry the patty in it. Dont add too much butter as you want the patty to sear a little bit. Since I live in an apartment I cannot use a grill. Dont burn it though.

The bacon is just about done. I prepare some paper towels on a plate to put the bacon on so the fat can drain. I also pour the rest of the bacon fat away so the pan becomes dry. The patty is almost done at this point.

I add some mushrooms as the patty is almost done. I like to have them fried in the remains of the sauce from the patty. I push them close and wait a couple of minutes.

You can check if the patty is done by poking it with a fork. If the juices that flow out are clear its done. However remember that it keeps cooking for a little bit after you take it off the heat. You dont want it to become dry either.

Now its time to assemble the burger.

Take your heated burger bun and slice in in two. Add some ketchup or whatever dressing you are using and then add the patty. On top you add cheese and bacon. I would have added the cheese while it was still on the heat but I forgot.
