Title: Still searching for a good TM bolognaise recipe
Post by: Halex on April 16, 2012, 11:49:08 pm

I have tried many times to make meat bolognaise in the TM.

I know that I am not alone, I just cant seem to get it like stove top bolognaise.

I love MM bol sauce for  lasagna but woud love a good TM recipe for spag bol.

Thanks

I would like one too.  I have reverted back to the stove top as we just don't like the mince texture in the TM.  :(

I've only tried the SB once in the TMX - and wasn't too impressed.
Haven't tried this but the writer says she likes it . . .   http://www.thelapthorneofluxury.com.au/recipes/thermomix/tmx-spaghetti-bo/

There's also one on page 142 of In the Mix - Haven't tried this one either but worth a look . . . .

My family prefers it made in the pressure cooker and it takes about 25 minutes all up and tastes as rich as if it has cooked for hours.

More like a ragu than the normal tomatoey bol sauce - gorgeous with home made pasta if you can:

I have made bolognese sauce many times in both the TM and also my pressure cooker. I agree that the pressure cooker version is my preference but my kids can't seem to tell the difference. I only use already minced beef or half veal/half pork mince in the TM EDC recipe. I often prefer to make the TM version especially if I am cooking for the entire family as I can disguise many vegetables in the TM version and my kids  are none the wiser. I guess it depends on what ingredients you have to hand, how much time you have and who you are cooking for which determines what particular method you use. As everyone knows, there are thousands of bolognese recipes out there. I think every family in Aus would pretty much have their own version, especially as it seems likeit is almost our national dish by now.

Nah I guess champagne  :)

I love my TM bolognese, I make it up as I go so don't really have a recipe, I use heaps of fresh herbs in every batch though.
I also hide HEAPS of veges for the kids, zucchini, capsicum, red beans, celery, carrots, it's about 40% meat and 60% vege, they are clueless and love it!

Pete Evans Spaghetti Bolognese (http://aww.ninemsn.com.au/food/8236134/mums-spaghetti-bolognese) is yummy, but I haven't converted it or seen a conversion on the web

CP if you convert it please let me know. Thanks ;D

As you are aware its the texture of the meat that is the problem.

I really think you need to use very coarsest ground mince. That's why pork and veal is recommended. Others also grind their own in the TMX when it's still slightly frozen.

I have found that with mince or bits of chicken etc that if you cook the recipe as normal in thernie but dont add any meat until the last max 8 mins of cooking and with meat like mince just throw it in in large roughly broken up bits the consistency is fine but if you add it and cook it for longer than that all hell breaks loose lol and i find it very unpleasant...saying that you shouldnt add a whole lot of liquid into a thx sauce either as it takes a lot longer to reduce than on the stove top etc

We cook our bolognaise for at least three hours and prefer a sauce whichs a little chunkier. I find it so easy to chop all te veggies in the tmx and then eave cooking on the sove top I wouldn't worry about trying to convert the recipe. Everyone who comes to the house while it's cooking always comments on the beautiful aroma. My DS is always hovering around in the last hour or so of cooking waiting to ave a big bowl with some bread for dipping!

Everything is always better slow cooked but for those that dont have three hours to watch something on the stove i find if you know how to tweak it the recipe is quite ok in thermie but you cant cook things the same way or with the same ingredients or quantities in thermie as a stove top recipe... Depends on time and what your after... Spag bol in our house is a quick meal with a premade homemade sauce which gives it the flavour so not something im going to cook for hours.. For me its not a dish thats worth all that time for the end result... I would much rather put time into something a bit more refined than spag bol. 😏

That's why I love my pressure cooker. What takes 30 minutes in a pressure cooker takes hours in a slow cooker and I love how good my spaghetti ragu tastes in the end.
