SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE
Recipe 1
(Not Aussie,
per se, but a Heath fave!)
|
This dish, a
specialty of northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna, is named for the region's
capital city. Although the meaty sauce is classically paired with
tagliatelle (ribbon pasta just slightly wider than fettuccine), it also
marries well with a variety of pasta shapes that trap the savory sauce.
Active time: 45 min Start to finish: 2 1/4 hr
Sauce:
2 medium onions, finely chopped
4 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 lb pancetta or slab bacon, ground by butcher or thinly
sliced and pulsed in food processor until finely chopped
1 lb ground veal
1 lb ground pork (not lean)
1 (6-oz) can tomato paste (OR
1 cup whole milk
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup water
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cook onions, celery, carrot, and garlic in oil
in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally,
until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add pancetta, veal, and pork and cook over
moderately high heat, stirring and breaking up lumps, until no longer
pink, about 6 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste, milk, wine, water,
and thyme and gently simmer, covered, until sauce is thickened, 1 to 1 1/2
hours. Add salt and pepper and remove from heat.
Sauce may be made 2 days ahead and cooled,
uncovered, before chilling, covered. Frozen, it keeps for 1 month.
Makes about 8 cups.

BEEF
NAMBOUR
|
The name
is a tribute to Nambour, a town in the Sunshine Coast area to the
north of Brisbane, Queensland. The area produces sugar and is
Australia's main growing area for ginger - two of the ingredients of
this dish.

| 500gm of diced beef. |
1 tablespoon plain
flour. |
| 2 rashers of bacon. |
1 packet of French
Onion soup mix. |
| One 440gm can of
pineapple pieces or half a fresh pineapple. |
1 pinch of ground
ginger or a small amount of fresh ginger - the latter is better. |
| Coat the
beef with the plain flour. Brown the beef and the bacon in a pan.
Put the beef and bacon into a casserole dish. Add the rest of the
ingredients, including the balance of the flour. Add water and stir
to give a smooth consistency. Cook in a moderate oven (180-200ºC)
for 1 hour or until the meat is tender. Garnish with parsley and
