I have loads of restrictions so I have to make with turkey mince, chopped onion and peppers cook off in a saucepan no liquid add basil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper, passata. Then boil spaghetti that's it used to hate having to make like this but now I'm so glad of anything with a bit of flavour and texture.

I would of put it in the food processor or a blender, instead of chopping it by hand

Why don't the guys not know what a mirepoix is? It's like they just call everything a sofrito, but there are distinct differences between them. Celery, carrot, and onion is a mirepoix. Celery, carrot, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and herbs is a sofrito. Is it just the fact they're not using butter? Cause to me, the bell pepper and garlic make a sofrito more distinctly not a mirepoix than just the frying medium.
Would celery, carrot, onion, bell pepper, and garlic in butter be a mirepoix then?

To be honest, that's not what I want from a Bolognese. I want it to be a celebration of tomato and meat. Here's my recipe:
– 1 yellow onion, chopped
– garlic to taste
– 100 g of minced beef (or mixed beef/port)
fry in plenty of olive oil, then add
– 100 g of tomato concentrate (3x)
season to taste with salt, pepper and oregano, sweat it off for a couple of minutes, then add
– 100 ml of water
bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for at least 45 minutes.
You may need to add more water if preparing less than 5 times the recipe or using a too-shallow pot. But be careful; if it separates into sauce and water on the plate, you've added too much.

Again, this is why Baz is my least favourite. Too overconfident relative to his skill. He seems nice and all, but compared to everyone else, even Ben, he's my least fave.

If you don’t believe that bay leaves you should got to Cologne in Germany and go get the sauerkraut in the amazing restaurant Fruh next to the train station. Game changer!

Cooking the pasta in the meat sauce. Italians are weeping

My advice for a bolognese, I am neither a chef nor Italian, but who cares, I just want to know what you think about it xD:
0. Start cooking early enough, I like to plan, so when I make bolognese, I start cooking in the morning or even the day before I want to eat it.
1. Use 1 enamelled cast iron pot.
2. Heat up your pot and then add diced bacon (can be guanciale, pancetta or just the cheapest bacon you have around, just use the one you like and can afford) and your meat, don't move it around, just let it brown on one side.
3. When your meat is brown, add your vegetables (finely diced) and tomato paste and fry everything until fragrant, which should be just a few minutes.
4. Add your wine (not too much), I am not Italian, so I like using a fruity red wine instead of white wine
5. Add your herbs, bay leaf and nutmeg and if you don't care about offending Italians, add some cumin and cinnamon, just a pinch, you won't taste it, it will just make everything taste rounder and a bit more meaty.
6. Lower the heat, add a lid to your pot and forget about it for a few hours (you can put it in the oven if you want a gentler and more uniform heat), depending on when you want to eat and when you start cooking, that can be anywhere between 2 and 8 hours, just plan around it, this way you can make it even on week days, because you don't really have to do anything, maybe stir it once in a while if possible, but if not, it doesn't really matter.
7. If you want a garlicy flavour, add finely minced garlic about 5 minutes before serving, along with pepper and salt as needed.
8. Right before serving, add some fresh basil, parsley (again, if you don't care about offending Italians, I just love parsley, so I am adding it) and strong olive oil, I like to use Bertolli robusto, it isn't the best, but good enough and affordable.
If you want to make it in less time, add more tomato paste, use high heat, stir a lot and maybe add a pinch of sugar or port wine, those things emulate the flavour you want well enough, at least for me.

Bay leaf flavor is like a walk in a forest on a warm day, with all the scents of the trees, shrubbery, earth, etc..

No problem chopping it Mike. But why aren't you using the electrical blender/cutter? I mean you would have been done before Barry then. Hehe

Personal opinion, but me n gf would never do bolognese like either one of these, but bolognese is a recipe we will all continue to argue over and proclaim "are one is the best"
