Seitan bolognese ♥

Preparation steps

• Bolognese with seitan ♥ We cut seitan into cubes and put it in the Mediterranean marinade (or just marinate soy ... mustard and garlic in slices) for about 1/2 hour and mix well and so two or three times. Then take it out and chop it finely. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil for about 10 minutes, then add carrots and celery cut into small cubes and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. We add all the spices except basil, seitan (which we grind in a blender and then grind as pieces of minced meat). Add grated carrots, tomato peel and mashed potatoes and wine (wine if desired). Cover and cook over low heat for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally ... finally add salt, freshly ground pepper and cook uncovered for about 15 minutes, ie until it thickens. Add the basil. Cook the spaghetti in pumno salted water al dente and strain and mix with the sauce and serve hot with grated grano padano cheese. I didn't have enough spaghetti, so I served it with home-made taglietela - a little wider homemade noodles ... according to this recipe ♥
• Mediterranean marinade ♥ 2 cloves crushed garlic, juice of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon tomato puree, 1 teaspoon cumin fried and coarsely ground, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, 1/2 onion finely grated .. 2 tablespoons chopped basil salt, black pepper .. Oriental marinade ♥ 1/2 cup water, 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 teaspoon soy sauce,, 1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary, 2 tablespoons myrrh, 1 pinch cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon rice malt.
• Bolognese made of turkey or mixed meat ♥ Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil or lard, 2 capillary cloves, 3 cloves garlic, a little bacon in small cubes as much as carrots as much celery (in cubes) and a little grated carrot, 1/2 kg minced best of beef leg and pork, 2 glasses of red wine, plenty of tomato sauce, 1 bay leaf, nutmeg with hot milk 1 dcl, 2 tablespoons sugar at the beginning of cooking ..salt, pepper at the end, bay leaf, 500 g spaghetti or tagliatelle, parmesan or grano padano to grate. I once used a mixture of bolognese mix and added 1 teaspoon and the base of this mixture is paprika which gives the dishes a phenomenal color, and with it are also present onion, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary. If there is no mix, I add a crumb of oregano, thyme and a basil leaf that I have in the jar. Add sliced ​​onion salt and sugar to the cold olive oil and fry until the onion softens. Add celery and carrots in small cubes and simmer. We increase the temperature and add minced meat (I used turkey or how when). When the meat leaks and fry, add the wine and cook until the liquid in the meat is reduced by 1/3u. Reduce the temperature and stir in the homemade tomatoes if we have, and if not from the can, the thick one, season the grated carrots. Sometimes I add 1 teaspoon of ground coffee..and 1 dcl of hot milk and put a little nutmeg in it .. Cover the paddle and cook on low heat for about 1-1.5 hours until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally and monitoring. the longer it cooks the better the sauce 3. Cook the tagliatelle or spaghetti in salted water. Strain and place on a tray or plate per person. We put parmesan over the pasta (I prefer to grate grano padano..it seems to be expensive but it lasts longer and is better), and then the bolognese sauce. You can put parmesan and freshly ground pepper over the sauce. I used homemade tagliatelle made according to this recipe
• Note ♥: Beef should be a little fatter but not too fat and pork, it does not go tomato sauce but tomato puree and cooking time depends on who wants cocoa, the old Italian housewives cooked it for 4-5 hours, the longer it cooks is a better bolognese. {pagete or tagliatele and other pasta is good when drained put a little sauce sauce or butter so it is better for me and when it cools is not so sticky or if you cook and stand a little save the liquid in which the pasta was cooked and just before serving heat the same water and put the pasta just dip enough and return to the strainer or reheat in the microwave.or as you already do.
