Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and finely diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, finely diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 500 grams ground beef (grass-fed preferred)
- 500 grams ground pork
- 800 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.5 cup red wine (optional, compliant with personal Paleo guidelines)
- 1 cup chicken or beef stock
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package zucchini noodles or vegetable pasta of choice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and pork to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking apart with a wooden spoon to crumble the meat.
Once the meat is browned, stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and optional red wine.
Add the chicken or beef stock, dried oregano, dried basil, bay leaves, sea salt, and black pepper.
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the pot partly, allowing some steam to escape, and let the sauce cook for about 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.
Adjust seasonings to taste if necessary.
Serve the Paleo Bolognese sauce generously over zucchini noodles or your vegetable pasta of choice. Enjoy!
