Deutsch An ancient Etruscan text mentions a meat ragout that has certain similarities with the ragu bolognese. It consists of beef and vegetables and is cooked for hours. Of course, ingredients such as peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and corn are omitted from a pre-Columbian recipe in Europe, as they all come from the New World. In addition, back then, as was […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch Chili con carne is not a Mexican dish, it is much more part of the Tex-Mex cuisine in the southern United States. The ingredients are only meat and chili peppers, so there are countless recipes with a wide variety of ingredients. Outside of Texas, beans are one of them, and corn seems to be a German invention. I stuck […]
WeiterlesenDeutsch Beef Brisket is one of the pillars of American BBQ along with spare ribs and pulled pork.

WeiterlesenDeutsch The Ragú by the sisters Margaritha and Valeria Simili from Bologna is one of the innumerable variants of the Ragú bolognese, whereby my version stands out again.

WeiterlesenDeutsch This is a recipe from my youth that my mother always cooked. Savoy cabbage with boiled beef and potatoes.
