WILD MUSHROOM BOLOGNESE
Serves 6
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 cup Unsalted Cultured Butter
2 Yellow Onion, finely diced
2 Large Carrots, finely diced
4 small stalks of Celery from the inside of the bunch, finely diced
6 large cloves of Garlic, smashed and roughly diced
3 oz. Pancetta, small dice
8 oz. Oyster mushrooms, small dice
4 oz. Crimini mushrooms, small dice
4 oz. Trumpet mushrooms, small dice
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
2 cups Full-Bodied Marsala
4 cup Rich Chicken Stock
3 cups Whole Milk
Kosher or sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Set a wide based pot with a heavy bottom over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter to pan and when hot add carrot, celery, onion and Pancetta. Saute until vegetables begin to caramelize and Pancetta renders or about 7-8 minutes. Then add mushrooms and season with salt relatively liberally. Continue to cook until mushrooms begin to brown being careful to constantly stir so as to not burn the vegetables. Add garlic and cook for another 30 to 45 seconds. Stir in tomato paste and let caramelize for another 60 seconds. Deglaze pan with Marsala and remove tasty bits from the bottom.
Reduce Marsala to a third of it’s volume then add milk, stock and season with freshly cracked black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 1 1/2 hrs, stirring occasionally. Taste and re-season if necessary.
Serve immediately, and enjoy!
