Some Recipes I need to memorize!


again, i apologize if you guys are bored with this, but i need to memorize these as we aren't allowed to have our recipe cards during the exam. anyhow, here is the recipe for Pasta Bolognese:
1/2 tbl butter (of course to be healthy, i'd only use olive oil if i were making this at home for myslef)
1/2 tbl olive oil
1 oz ham
2oz each of onion, celery, and carrot (aka, mirepoix)
2 oz mushrooms
2 oz each of ground beef, pork, and veal (once again, i'd just use lean ground beef, tofu, chicken or turkey)
1 garlic glove
1/4 cup red wine
1/2 cup stock
2 cups tomato sauce
1 bouquet garni (celery, leek leaf, bay leaf, and parsley wraped in a string)
salt/pepper

Heat butter/olive oil in a sauce pan, add ham and mirepoix and sweat unitl carmelized. set aside
Brown the mushrooms in the remaining fat and set aside
Add the ground meats and saute until brown, add the garlic and saute unitl aromatic
Deglaze the wine and reduce until almost dry (aka, au sec)
Add the stock, tomato sauce, bouquet garni, and ham/mirepoix/mushrooms that were set aside earlier.
Cover and simmer for 45 min and season.

you may use any noodle you'd like, it works weel with shiritaki noodles as well!
