is this bolognese sauce recipe legit?
the only seasoning it uses is salt, nutmeg, and a bayleaf.

Similar to mine but you should add whole milk, 300ml should be adequate for 1kg of meat.

I miss bon appetit regular uploads. It's like the office meets a cooking show.

Front meat is a bad translation, it means shoulder meat. If you are american, you can ask for "under blade steak" or "denver cut" which is from the bottom of the chuck. If you visit a real butcher and explain what you want, they can give you this portion ground, or they may already make ground beef with that portion.

Some other translation notes:
celery stalks, yellow/sweet onion, the lard is BEEF lard, not pork lard, so if you don't have extra beef fat on hand I suggest using something similar.
The tomato sauce is also not really "tomato in a can" but rather a prepared sauce which is a seperate recipe, that is the other key, here a mob guy explains: (the recipe is so simple you will understand by watching) https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ewX_xiDDWL4
You also can buy tomatoes in a can to get the "polpa" or the crushed/blended consistency but doing this at home makes it much better for sauces and you can save your own for Ragú and these other dishes for ease of use. At minimum buy a good quality polpa or crushed tomatoes and then do the rest of his recipe.
Also key is the wine, do not use a blend. Either Sangiovese or Châteauneuf-du-Pape. More likely the first since the second is expensive, but sometimes you have a girl or a nice guest and so on.

This is american idiocy because he does not do the proper steps to get it thick enough from the meat fats.

>huge glob of lard
use some pancetta instead, at least it adds some flavor
>adding minced beef to the vegetables already simmering in a terracotta pot instead of browning it separately
yum, boiled meat! fuck this Maillard faggot
>keep adding water, no milk
ironically, OP's video is closer to the original recipe that this one made by two women from Bologna. "Traditional" recipes are not always better anyway.

It's a shame. They had a great thing going and it was fun to watch. Then their editor was caught in "brownface", which is not even a thing, and it turned out that they paid their chefs what they negotiated, like any business. Oh no, shut the whole thing down.

They're back to uploading and some of the old crew are still around, but it's so devoid of soul now.

looks pretty legit, it's very similar to the one I use, and I live 200 kilometers from Bologna.
I brown the beef on high heat in smaller pieces, constantly stirring.
Then in a different pan (or in the same pan after removing the beef and quickly cleaning it), I gently sauté the vegetables (I use less carrots) in a lot more fat until they become translucent and slightly golden. When he does it, it all looks pretty dry...
I add a bay leaf but no nutmeg. Also a bit of black pepper.
Those are the major differences.

jesus christ man. I kind of want to try it but I have a hard limit of not cooking with wine that's more than 20 dollars a bottle

Get some Bolla. It's Italian, about 10 bucks a bottle and good stuff.

You see anon, for me I am not always cooking with wine or drinking wine. To drink the wine is also a chance to be able to cook with it.

You are also slightly mistaken about the price point. :)

spices are up to your own taste anyway. it's got pancetta, very little tomato product, and everythingg else common. adjust the spices to how you like. i use sage and parsely.
