one pound of ground veal ^o^

and uh… meat stock. i used my homemade chicken stock. obv it was still frozen rock solid out of the the freezer. bcuz i'm a dumbass and never think of it until the last minute.
veal stock would be a better match but…. anyone have a good source for veal bones in the fort worth area? i could ask the guy at the meat counter at central marmod but u need a number and he yells out the number and is scares. they prob have a source but i don't want to be the strange customer asking for off the wall shit.
like hey, have any veal bones?
so chicken stock works out ok for this dish………..

u wanna cut the carrots, celery and onions brunoise
if u don't know how look up like youtube or some shit but basically u cut into matchsticks first (julienne) and then into equal sized squares (brunoise)
the technique for onions is a bit different bcuz of their layers but just look it up if u don't know how to cut things, i guess.

and it's generally easier to cut pancetta with shears than with a knife. after unrolling it's basically the same as bacon but it's not smoky and pancetta actually has a very distinct flavor that salt pork doesn't…. anyway it's traditional for bolognese but u could use a few slices of thick cut bacon if u wanted to instead…

brown the bacon in an enameled cast iron pot!
it's OK if the pan takes some color; u are gonna deglaze it anyway. once the bacon crisps up remove it to a plate…

then add ur mirepoix of carrots celery and onions. notice there is no garlic and no green herbs. bcuz this is a traditional style bolognese and it usually does not have those things.
let the onions get soft. this pic shows quite a bit of brown stuff on the pan from the bacon, right?
the water given up by the onions and celery and carrots is basically enough to deglaze the pan.
just scrape the pan with a wooden spoon as they sweat.

see how much cleaner the middle of the pan was after sauteing the mirepoix?
add a couple big spoonfuls, about half a 5 oz can of tomato paste, and let the paste develop a dark brown crust; almost burnt; on the pan.

then once the tomato paste is turning too brown add some white wine to the pan and turn the heat up and scrape until everything is well combined

now take the sausage out of its casing by slitting it down the middle and just pulling it out.
the casing is good meat too so i chop it up and include it in the final dish but otherwise it's a good treat for a cat
also add the veal
and add the meat stock.
i realize this picture looks horrific but this is part of making a very tasty sauce…

season thoroughly with salt, black pepper, maybe a little fresh ground nutmeg and put it on low heat
about 180 to 190 degrees F
but well below boiling.
u wanna cook this at a low temp for a couple hours at least.

i decided to include mushrooms, which are not traditional with this but go very well regardless
here is a note about shiitakes, which are awesome. basically the stems are tough. so don't include them in ur food… but save them and freeze them to make mushroom stock. srsly. that's my advice. shiitake stems freeze well

i like to cook bolognese uncovered so it can reduce down.
near the end of cooking it's traditional to add some dairy; milk or cream or whatever. i wanted to show the ingredients label on this creme fraiche, which i added a few big spoonfulls of; cultured cream: contains: milk
silly allergen warnings!
anyway u want the final sauce to be fairly thick and also a light color… so low heat and a long time are what u want.
