Authentic Ragu Modenese Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1 small carrot
- 2 stalks celery
- 4 ounces Prosciutto di Parma thinly sliced
- 4 ounces mortadella thinly sliced
- 1 pound ground pork see note
- 1 parmigiano rind about 2 ounces
- 1-2 quarts chicken stock no sodium
- 2 cups parmigiano reggiano cheese finely grated
Instructions
- Finely dice your onion, carrots, and celery.
- Mince your proscuitto, mortadella, and ground pork.
- Add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium-high heat and deeply caramelize the onions, carrots, and celery, about 5 minutes.
- Add the meats, parmigiano rind, and enough stock to cover, then reduce the heat to a bare simmer. Cover and simmer for 6-7 hours, checking on it every hour or so to make sure it hasn't gone dry. Add stock as necessary.
- After simmering, add the cheese, then season with salt, if necessary.
