Bolognese Sauce

This Asian-inspired Anglo-Italian is far better than the original, in my opinion! You can easily bulk make this recipe and freeze it to use for many different dishes. This recipe serves 3-4 people.

You‘ll need:

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 onion finely chopped

• 4 cloves garlic finely chopped

• 200g mince or homemade tempeh

• 1½ tsp dried oregano

Fry the onion, garlic, oregano and mince in high heat while breaking apart the mince. Then add the onions, and once the onions are browned, add…

• 200g mushrooms chopped into bite-sized slices 

• 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce

• 2 tbsp black vinegar or balsamic

• 100ml red wine or white wine

Turn up the heat and start reducing the liquid.

Then add..

• 1 can of chopped tomatoes

• 1 tbsp tomato puree (optional)

• 1 tsp sugar

• 1-5 tsp chilli flakes/cayenne pepper (optional)

Cook for around 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Serve with:

• Pasta of your choice, around 70g per person

• Nutritional yeast sprinkled on top

• Fresh basil leaves

Enjoy!
