Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups finely chopped onion (about 1 large onion)
3/4 cup finely chopped celery (about 1 1/4 stalks)
3/4 cup finely chopped carrot (about 1 large carrot)
1 1/4 pounds ground chuck
10 ounces ground pork
2 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
2 1/2 cups milk
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
2 1/4 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
2 1/2 cups canned diced plum tomatoes, with juice
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat butter and oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom 6-quart pot over medium heat until butter is melted. Add onion, celery, and carrot; cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are soft and light golden brown, 8 to 11 minutes.
  • Add ground chuck and pork to pot; stir, breaking up meat with a fork. Add salt, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until meat is cooked through but not browned, about 5 minutes more.
  • Gradually add milk; bring mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add nutmeg to taste, and gently simmer until milk has completely evaporated, about 20 minutes. (Any remaining liquid will be yellowish and clear.)
  • Add wine; simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in stock; simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Add tomatoes and juice; simmer, stirring occasionally, until fat has risen to the top and sauce is thick and meaty, 60 to 70 minutes. Season with pepper. Let sauce cool slightly.

I'm allergic to tomatoes. Can I still make this recipe?

I'm not a big fan of beef, but I love this ragu bolognese. The sauce is so flavorful and the meat is so tender.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The sauce is so rich and flavorful, and the meat is fall-apart tender.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my ragu bolognese turned out really watery. It was still tasty, but it wasn't the thick, hearty sauce I was hoping for.

I was a little disappointed with this recipe. The sauce was a bit bland and the meat was a little tough.

This is the most authentic ragu bolognese recipe I've tried. The flavor is rich and complex, and the meat is perfectly tender. I served it over tagliatelle, and it was a hit with my family!
