Ingredients

Main Ingredients (3 servings)

  • Ground Pork 250g
  • Onion 1/2
  • Carrot 1/3
  • Canned Diced Tomatoes 1 can
  • Bay Leaves 2
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Pasta (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Red Wine 250cc
  • Grated Garlic 1 tbsp
  • Consomme 1/2 tsp
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper

Steps

  1. Peel and finely chop 1/2 onion.
  2. Further mince the roughly chopped onion.
  3. Thinly slice 1/3 carrot lengthwise, stack them, and cut into thin strips.
  4. Rotate the julienned carrot 90 degrees and finely chop it.
  5. Heat a frying pan, add vegetable oil, and sauté the chopped onion and carrot.
  6. Sauté thoroughly until the vegetables are tender. Add salt to taste to shorten the cooking time. **Key Tip:** Sauté for a long time to bring out the sweetness of the vegetables.
  7. Temporarily remove the sautéed vegetables.
  8. In the same frying pan, add vegetable oil and 250g ground pork.
  9. Spread the ground pork in the pan, pressing it down, and cook without moving until browned. **Key Tip:** Press the ground meat to achieve a chunky texture.
  10. Once browned, flip the ground pork.
  11. Add the sautéed onion and carrot, 250cc red wine, and 1 tbsp grated garlic to the browned ground pork and reduce.
  12. Reduce the red wine completely until the moisture evaporates. **Key Tip:** This step is crucial for concentrating the umami by reducing the red wine.
  13. Add 1 can canned diced tomatoes and 2 bay leaves, and simmer until the volume reduces to about two-thirds. **Key Tip:** Reducing the tomato can also concentrates the umami for a richer flavor.
  14. Once reduced to about two-thirds, add 1/2 tsp consommé, and adjust the taste with pepper and salt.
  15. Adjust the seasoning so it's just right when mixed with pasta – it should taste slightly strong on its own.
  16. Serve the finished meat sauce over boiled pasta.
