How to prepare Pork Meat Ragout
To prepare the pork ragout, first prepare the Beef Broth. Then move on to the sauté: clean and finely chop carrot, celery, and onion 1. In a pan, add the butter 2 and let it melt over very low heat, then add the oil 3 and let it heat for a few moments.
Then add the finely chopped vegetables 4. Sauté and let the onion brown, add 1-2 ladles of meat broth to aid cooking 5. After about 15 minutes, add the ground meat 6
and let it brown well for about ten minutes, breaking it up with a spatula 7 or a wooden spoon. Add a little vegetable broth, then add the red wine 8 and let it evaporate over moderate heat. When the wine has evaporated, add the tomato puree 9,
stir 10 and let it flavor for a few minutes. When the ragout has resumed boiling, add the tomato paste 11, mix it into the ragout, salt 12
and pepper 13 to taste, and let everything cook over low heat for about 3 hours (you can use a splatter screen to let it boil without covering it) or however long it takes to thicken 14. When the pork meat ragout is ready, you can adjust the salt if necessary and use it as a sauce for pasta dishes or lasagna 15.
