Ok so I just made my first ever homemade bolognaise sauce. Im sure im missing something out tho, i fried garlic and onion, added mince, browned it, added tomatoes, mushrooms, capsicum, zuchinni (sp), scallopini ( i think thats what they are called, look like flying saucers), fresh oregano, fesh basil and fresh tyhme with a pinch of sugar. Is there anything else I should add? ? Tia

Wine, salt&pepper, nutmeg ... and simmer for a couple of hours - a good bolognese needs long cooking.

all of what you added but i would also put in a little tomato sauce and a sachet of tomato cup a soup. also some salt and pepper.

I'd add tomato paste rather than tomato cup a soup or tomato sauce for a more authentic result.

maybe more authentic but it is much nicer with what i suggested, have made it for chefs/friends who are amazed when told what my secret ingredients are, both my sons make it this way as well and it is always a hit with their friends and flatties.

I made some last night too and it was very nice - even I say so myself! I use, onion, garlic, mince, beef stock powder, salt, fresh pepper, dry basil & oregano, 500 gms fresh tomatoes (skinned), slosh red wine, sugar, tomato paste and simmer for about an hour. Just before serving, I add plenty of chopped fresh basil. If you add fresh basil during the cooking, you lose all the flavour - hence dried herbs while it simmers.

#1 I buy cask red wine for cooking & it makes such a huge difference to add some to your tomato based Italian dishes.

Italians will tell you a proper bol sauce has milk in it.
