Ingredients for The Ultimate Bolognese Sauce

• 2 hojas de laurel

• 3 clavos de olor enteros

• 2 cucharaditas de semillas de hinojo

• 1 1/2 cucharaditas de hojuelas de pimiento rojo triturado

• 1/4 cucharaditas de granos de pimienta negra

• 1 cucharada de aceite de oliva

• 90g chicken livers, rinsed, finely chopped

• 1 1/2 cucharaditas de sal kosher, más al gusto

• Pimienta recién molida

• 1/2 large onion, finely chopped

• 1/2 small bunch thyme

• 60ml Mama Lil's Kick Butt

• Peppers in Oil or Peppadew peppers

• 5 dientes de ajo, finamente picados

• 1 400g can whole peeled tomatoes

• 80ml red wine

• 675g beef mince chuck (20% fat)

• 450g pork mince shoulder (Boston butt)

• 350 ml de leche entera

• 2 cucharadas de vinagre de vino tinto

• 350g pappardelle

• 350g unsalted butter

• 90g Parmesan, finely grated (about 180ml )

Toast spices in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes (this releases their flavour). Let cool, then finely grind in a spice mill (or use a mortar and pestle).

Preheat oven to 250°. Heat oil in a medium ovenproof pot over medium-high. Add livers and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until livers are deeply browned.almost burned, really—5-8 minutes. Add onion, thyme, and Mama Lil's peppers; stir to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring as needed, until onion is brown and soft, 5–8 minutes more. Stir in garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in spice mixture and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.

Add tomatoes, then wine, stirring and scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Add meat and stir to combine (the mixture will be fairly stiff but will loosen as it cooks). Add milk and mix well—everything should be evenly coated.

Cover pot with a lid and transfer to oven; bake for 6 hours.

Remove pot from oven. The sauce will have firmed up; stir to loosen. Pluck out thyme and, using an immersion blender, puree sauce until smooth. Add vinegar and season with salt and pepper. To serve the sauce like Chef Easton does, see opposite page.
