MMMMM---- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Ragu Alla Pugliese Categories: Lamb/mutton, Pork, Beef, Vegetables, Wine Yield: 12 Servings 250 g Beef (9 oz) 250 g Pork belly (pancetta) (9 oz) 250 g Lamb (9 oz) 4 Salsiccia pork sausage links 1/2 Chicken 1 L Tomato puree 100 g Tomato paste (3-1/2 oz) 1 lg Brown onion 2 cl Garlic Extra virgin olive oil Crushed red chile 150 mL Glass white wine (5 oz) Salt Cut the pork belly into small pieces and cut the rest of the meat in 3 cm (1") dices. Finely slice the onion and the garlic. Add the onion, the garlic, a glass of water, and oil to a pan and saute, covered, over low heat, stirring frequently. Once the onions have browned, add the pork belly and turn the heat up and saute. Pour in half a glass of wine and cook, covered, for 30 minutes over low heat. After 30 minutes have passed, add the remaining diced meat, the rest of the wine, tomato puree, tomato paste, chile pepper, and salt. Cook, covered, over low heat for three hours until the meat falls off the bone. Approximately 45 minutes before the dish is fully cooked, add the chicken and the sausages. Serve with orecchiette (little ears) pasta, sprinkled with either grated pecorino or grated Canestrato Pugliese. Note: Although the dish is made with various kinds of meat, using only one type of meat is also fine, just make sure you use cuts that benefit from long cooking. The amount of chili peppers can also be adjusted to personal taste, so you can up the heat if desired. UDD Note: The measures and/or comments in parenthesis were added by me for clarity.
