Super Secret Sauce recipe
« on: April 01, 2011, 09:35:09 PM »
 You will need:
 6-28oz cans of tomatoes
 3-cans tomato paste
 2-med onions
 6-nice size cloves garlick
 2 med carrots
 2 table spoons dried basil
 1 table spoon parsley
 1/2 teaspoon oregano
 8-oz wine(anything not sweep)
 1- teaspoon Baking soda(yes Arm and Hammer)
  red pepper flakes to your taste.
   As for meat I clean out the freezer of any odd pieces of pork beef chicken,sausage I like hot and get it from a real Italian deli that makes it there(or do the best you can)

  I always run the tomatoes through the blender on the highest setting till they're all liquid( a few seeds won't hurt anything)

 Brown all the meat under the broiler and set aside.

 Get a large heavy bottom pot fire up the stove(med) and get the pan hot and add your olive oil and onions and start stirring so you don't burn anything.

 When the onions are soft push them to the sides of the pot and dump the garlick in the middle and in a couple of minute you will smell it cooking and at the first sign of color add the carrots right on top so you stop the garlick from browning sprinkle a little salt so the carrots give up their juices and stir it all together. At his point you may have to add a little more oil to the pot.


 Once it's all soft add the tomatoes and bring them up to temp(not boiling)and add the paste and stir till it's all dissolved.

 Now add the baking soda before anything else and stir. You will see it all foam up which is fine just keep stirring till it stops foaming. When that's done add all you seasonings and herbs and spices.

  Bring everything to a low simmer and add your meat and let it come back to a simmer drop the stove to low and stir.

 Set the timer on you stove for 10 minutes and come back and stir every ten minutes for the next hour and a half. shut it off you're done.AND NEVER ADD SUGAR TO YOU SAUCE!!!! YUK!!!


 The point to adding carrots is to sweeten the sauce and the Baking soda kills all the acid in it.A lot of people don't eat sauce because the acid bothers them this is the cure for that and crappy tomatoes.


 I know that it's a lot of work but we get 6 meals out of it so I only have to make it every 6 weeks so it's not that big a deal.

 Any questions??

You said "we" get 6 meals out of it.  How many meals is that for one person?

Six 28 oz. cans of tomatoes sounds like an awful lot.  And how much meat?

  There are two of us here if you like you can adjust it for 4 cans and cut everything back 1/3 and you should end up with 4 meals. We freeze it in zip lock bags because it lays flat and doesn't take up a lot of room. As for the meat we figure two meatballs and two sausages for each meal. But as long as I'm cooking I put in more meat than it needs because we also like the meat in sandwiches and we can sneak a couple more meals out of the same work.


 Some nights we just don't feel like cooking so we nuke the meat and have sandwiches and salad and it works out fine and we don't eat processed food.

Brown all the meat under the broiler and set aside.

What temperature and for how long?

The carrots and baking soda sound like a great idea.  The acid in the store-bought sauce bothers me too.

  The broiler in my oven doesn't have a temp setting,it's just broil. I don't have a time because the closer you put the oven rack the faster it browns. I don't put it on the highest spot but rather two down from the top so it doesn't brown too fast. Time is subject to you oven.


  But you just keep an eye on it so it just gets some color you don't want it dark brown you're just trying to get a light brown color cause it cooks in the sauce.


 If the acid bothers you, you will like this much better. If you watch the texture of the sauce it actually changes when you add the baking soda. As a matter of fact after you take it out of the freezer you will add a little water to it to thin it out as it thickens up even more in the freezer.

The meat doesn't necessarily need to be done in the broiler, rickl; you can brown it in a frying pan on the stove instead and just move it to the pot with the tomatoes when it's finished.  You brown the meat first because if you just put it raw into the pot, it looks sorta gray-ish after it's cooked instead of nicely browned and because you end up with a lot of meat grease in your tomatoes.

 I would rather fry but it's healthier to broil.And we all want to do the right thing don't we? Even if we don't want to.If I had my way I would eat fried oil!!But the hawk is gonna bitch and I don't want that do I.

Feh.  Healthier?  Who sez and why would that be?  As long as the fattier meat is put in the pan first, there's no need to add any other oil and the fat is rendered off everything anyway.

...If I had my way I would eat fried oil!...

Not to take the thread on a tangent, but your comment re; fried oil spurred a thought... One of the most deliciously decadent things I've ever eaten was deep fried bacon on a stick at the Minnesota State Fair. It's a super-thick cut - maybe 3/8", ribboned onto a stick (like you'd see on a corn dog or caramel apple), and deep-fried in liquid bacon grease. I tasted one and got right back in line for two more.

 Onions are rough chop because they will vanish in the cooking process but the carrots I grate on a box grater so the vanish too.The slow fry in the beginning softens them up so as you stir EVERY TEN MINUTES the meat and heat just cooks them so you can't hardly find them.

Heh.  Sounds good, we do a lot of that now, might be lacking only in the volume of the passion!   ;)
