Spag Blog




Spaghetti Blognaise. If you have lived in Melbourne for more than a week, you will have tryed 'spag bog'. Now you you've tryed it and you love it, you'll want to know how to cook it.
This is how I do it.
Ingredents:
500g minced beef.
1 large brown onion.
440g diced tomatoes.
3 cloves of garlic. Finley choped.
Char grilled vegtables. To taste.
1 tbl spoon of tomato paste.
Salt & peper.
Olive oil.
Method:
In a large heavy based pot. Fry off the onion in a little olive oil, untill soft and transparent. Then add the beef with the heat turned up. When thats cooked, add the tomato paste. Fry on the move for a few seconds. Now add the garlic salt and peper. Stir then add the tomatoes. bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for about 45 minutes. Give it a drink if it looks a bit dry. Also be a bit naughty and add a splash of red wine to the mix....
Serving:
Plate up on a bed of #4 spaghetti. Some like to toss through the sauce. Thats fine. Infact, thats more than likely how it should be done. But here I just plonked it on top. Must be eat'n with a red. Thanks for reading.
