Fab Bol Sauce

[achookwoman]

Fab. Bol. Sauce.
This may look like a long recipe but makes 18 to 20 cups of sauce.  It can be frozen. There are many ways it can be used and when using the outstanding produce from our Farmer's Markets it makes a delicious  and slightly different sauce.
Jillian Ryan and Robyn Harris of  PORK FROM THE PADDOCK  were selling 3 ks of Minced Beef for $24.  I used 2 Ks of Minced beef in this recipe,  so that is less than $1 a serve for the beef in this recipe.
Need
2 Ks of minced beef
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
2 large brown onions, diced
4 cloves of garlic, crushed
4 x 400g tins of diced tomatoes. ( or 1 K of fresh tomatoes )
350g, tomato paste
2 large carrots diced small
2 large sticks of celery, diced small
2 zucchini , sliced
2 hand fulls of mushrooms sliced
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 Tablespoons of Golden Syrup
Do
YOU NEED A VERY LARGE PAN FOR THIS RECIPE

Gently fry the onion and garlic in the Olive oil
Add minced beef and cook until there are no raw bits of meat evident.
Add vegetables and stir into meat,  breaking up any large lumps.
Cook this mixture for 10 mins,  turning every few minutes.
Add tinned tomatoes and paste,  rinse out each tin with 1/2 cup of water and add to mix.
Add Cinnamon and Golden Syrup and simmer for 3 hours,  stirring so that sauce doesn't catch on bottom of pan.

Notes.
Can add different vegetables,  or Pesto , or a tin of beans,  chilli or parsley
Serve with Parmesan Cheese.
This sauce can be used in,  Spaghetti Bolognaise
                                         Savory Pancakes
                                         Fill Potatoes
                                         On Pizzas

I wrote this recipe for the Farmers' Market. for which I am the recipe developer.  It is on my Farmers market Blog.  I have tried to take a hard copy but it refuses to copy.  I have transferred it over to here as I can take a copy from here. I can remove it if is is seen as not in the best interest of this Forum.  I didn't intend to post it here as there are already excellent recipes for Spag. Bol.  Cookie or Judy ,  feel free to remove it ,  or ask me to do so.

Sounds nicer than the "In The Mix" spag bol. Will try next week for sure!

[CreamPuff63]

Thx Chookie. We are big lovers of spaghetti bol in this family, and I'm sure yours is a goodie.

[achookwoman]

You could make 1/2.   
I chopped the onion and garlic in the TMX,  and also the veggies,  but not the mushrooms.

Should I leave the recipe on. ??

[Katiej]

Yes please leave the recipe Chookie.

I often make a large batch for the freezer and I'd love to try your recipe next time I make it.

[judydawn]

Most definitely Chookie, it's in the non-Thermomix section where anything goes.  I used to enjoy my spag bol prior to TMX, haven't since though so it must be better cooked on the stove top. I will try it next time we have it - I usually only do it twice a year at the most.

[CreamPuff63]

Yes definitely. I can't print it off yet until tomorrow  

[nazar]

oh yes chookie please leave it here it sounds like a fabulous recipe

l love to cook spag bog in bulk as l turn some into lasagna and freeze extra meals for when l work
 thank you

do you think this would fit into a 6 litre slow cooker

[Halex]

Identical to mine apart from the golden syrup. I use red wine instead.  Never thought of golden syrup

Please leave it on here Chookie as I want to make this during the week.

Nazar, measure 22 cups into your slow cooker,  as the finished amount is 18/20 cups.    This will leave room for evaporation.

[nazar]

what a good idea . l should of thought of that  silly me

[jeninwa]

Have this on cooking now, some in the slow cooker the rest on the stove top.

Though it best to take some out or I would come home from work this pm to sauce every where lol. I all ways find that there is alway more liquid from the condensation in the slow cooker, next time I think I will make half quantity next time

[achookwoman]

Jen,  it makes a lot.  Looks good though.
