- Polenta With Ragu'
- (Polenta Con Il Ragu')
-
|
-
- Ingredients:
-
- 7 oz (200 grams) minced beef
- 1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stick, chopped
- 3 tablespoons tomato sauce
- 1 lb and 2 oz (500 grams) coarse polenta flour
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 oz (25 grams) butter
Salt and pepper
Parmigiano cheese, freshly grated, to serve
-
- Directions:
-
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a saucepan.
-
- Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until browned.
Add the meat, season with salt and pepper and cook for additional minutes more.
Mix the tomato sauce with 1-2 tablespoons warm water in a bowl, add to the pan and cook over a low heat for about an hour, adding more water if necessary.
Prepare the Polenta:
Bring 3 pints (1.75 liters) salted water to a boil (keep another pan of water boiling if necessary).
Sprinkle the polenta flour into the pan while stirring constantly.
As soon as the polenta thickens, soften it with a drop of the reserved boiling water.
Note: The cooking time ranges from 45 minutes to 1 hour; the longer the cooking time, the more easily the polenta is digested.
When it is ready, pour it into a non-stick ring mould, rinsed out with cold water, leave to stand for 2-3 minutes, then turn it out on to a warm serving dish.
Pour the hot ragu' sauce into the middle and serve with Parmigiano cheese. Serves 4.
