Preparation
- Serving size:4 oz (by recipe creator)4.80 oz (calculated)¼ cup (by recipe creator)
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the ghee.
- Saute the chopped leek and celeriac for about 10 minutes. The vegetables should not take on much color, but be roasted softly.
- Add the chopped bacon and ground meat to the soffritto. Instead of ground beef you can also use ground pork, or a mix of both.
- Brown the meat for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato puree and season with salt and pepper.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and with the lid off for about 2 hours.
- Season to taste.
- Enjoy this dish with a side like pasta or, for a lower carb option, zucchini noodles.
- Optionally top with some freshly grated parmesan.
- This sauce is even tastier when reheating. So it's a perfect dish to prepare in advance.
- You can store the dish in an airtight container for 5 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. For best results, thaw overnight. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
