Greek Bolognese Sauce Recipe with no Tomato

Written by Published on Updated on June 2, 2019 in Main dishes, Mediterranean cuisine

Hey there!!! How is everyone?  Things are good over on this side of the world..My friend arrived on Saturday and I have to admit she is in that Culture Shock stage at the moment.  It does happen to everyone when we travel to new countries, seeing so many different things that it has to offer.  I am truly happy that she is here so that she can experience what the Netherlands has to offer. 🙂

We returned from the airport a bit later in the day and to be honest I did not have the time to prepare anything for dinner, so I went straight for the easiest recipe that I could think of  that everyone loves..PASTAAAA!!!  but not just plain pasta, but Pasta Bolognese. 🙂  Since I had no tomatoes and it was already quite late I took out a few carrots that I had in the fridge and shredded them, poured in a few tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce and poooofff I was done, a much better option for late night dinner eating. 🙂

This week I have much to saw her so we are off to the Van Gogh Museum, 🙂  (Personally, I am more of a Claude Monet fan) 🙂 but I do know that there are some of his painting in the Museum. Since I haven’t been there in over two years, I will absolutely enjoy the day at the museum and Amsterdam along with my friend. 🙂

GREEK BOLOGNESE SAUCE RECIPE WITH NO TOMATO

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Carrots shredded
  • 1 kilo Ground Beef
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 4 tablespoons of Soy Sauce or Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add Olive Oil into pot along with the shredded carrots. Sauté until carrots are slightly golden brown.
  • Continue by adding in the ground beef…along with the rest of the ingredients. Now I like to change the taste so this time around I used Worcestershire Sauce, to give it a smokier taste since there were no added tomatoes.
  • Simmer for about 1 hour on low heat. Top on Pasta with Cheese and just enjoy.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
