Preparation of Sausage Sauce

  • First, take the sausage and remove the casing, then coarsely break it into pieces with your hands and set aside.

    Now we can continue our recipe using either the Thermomix or a saucepan. Let’s see the steps.

  • WITH THE THERMOMIX: Put the peeled onion cut into four parts into the bowl. The celery cleaned of filaments and also cut into large 0.8-inch pieces. The carrot peeled, trimmed, and cut into slices. The cleaned, whole garlic clove. Chop at speed 5 for 5 seconds. Use the spatula to bring the vegetables to the center

  • Then add the extra virgin olive oil and sauté for 3 minutes at Varoma temperature speed 1. Add the crumbled sausage without casing. Sauté for 3 minutes Anti-clockwise at Varoma temperature speed 1.

  • Deglaze with red wine, 4 minutes Varoma Anti-clockwise speed 1. Finally, add the tomato sauce, some rosemary needles, pepper, nutmeg, and salt. Cook for 25 minutes at Varoma temperature Soft (spoon) Anti-clockwise using the basket instead of the measuring cup.

  • WITHOUT THERMOMIX: Cut the vegetables into very small cubes (carrots, celery, onion, garlic) and sauté in a pan with oil. Add the crumbled sausage. Mix well with a wooden spoon for about ten minutes. The meat should be well browned.

  • Then deglaze with red wine. When the alcohol has evaporated, add the tomato sauce, some rosemary needles, pepper, nutmeg, and salt. Let cook over medium-low heat for about 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally. If it dries too much, add some broth or water.

Notes

You can prepare the sauce in advance and heat it when needed. You can store it in a glass container, well covered with plastic wrap, for a maximum of 2-3 days.

It can also be frozen.

Instead of red wine, you can use dry white wine.

Rosemary can be replaced with thyme.

If you don’t like the taste of garlic, you can omit it.
