Bombay Bolognaise
Tonight I bring a simple adaptable recipe to the web, Bombay Bolognaise... you Italians out there dont throw a tantrum, this is great... One of my staple recipes that I get asked to make often... and it all happened by accident... check the link for the story...
Ingredients;
1 kg mince
1 pack of spagetti
1 Big Onion or two smaller
1 can All Gold Indian diced tomatoes (The Bombay Bit)
1 can tomato puree, those 70g no name ones are fine
1 cube beef stock, if you have herb and garlic stock cubes one of em as well. Italian herbs, paprika, olive oil or any other good cooking oil, access to the larder in case of other ingredients not mentioned are needed!
Da pasta
Start by getting the pasta on the stove, a big pot for the cooking of is needed, the bigger the better. Fill the pot with warm water... it boils quicker that way... add a dash of oil and a teaspoon of salt to the water, once it is boiling vigorously add the pasta and stirr a few times to prevent it sticking... cook until al dente.
Da Bolognaise
Start by slice 'n dicing the onion/s, get a fair sized saucepan or nice cast iron pot for this, add a dash of oil and saute the onions, add the mince as soon as the onions are done, add the stock cube/s, pakrika and a dash of whatever else you add to your mince. Then add the canned goods... check for tartness and add a bit of sugar to cut the tomato tartness. Some Chutney may be called for as well but may be added later upon serving. Add some Italian herbs and stirr the whole lot a few times untill cooked.
Finale
The pasta should be done before the bolognaise, serve this in a fair sized bowl and then add the bolignaise over the pasta... garnish with some parmesan or any other cheese at hand and call the kids! maybe they will leave some for the grownups, if not do another session! Goes well with a big salad... and a good red wine.
