Bolognese sauce is a classic in every kitchen. I don’t know if in your family you have and specific day to make Dairy Free Bolognese Sauce but for us, Tuesday is our day.
Why is this recipe so special that I want to share it? Well, for me it isn’t special at all, to be honest. I have been making this Dairy Free Bolognese Sauce since, forever. But my family loves it, in fact, my stepdaughters say “It’s the only Bolognese spaghetti they like” I don’t know if it is true but they get mad if I don’t make it!
WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR THIS DAIRY FREE BOLOGNESE SAUCE?
Fresh tomatoes for starters, no canned, we want to taste the freshness of the ingredients, and trust me in this one. For instance, I have made this recipe with can tomatoes and fresh tomatoes, I don’t know what it is but the taste changes from one to another.
Along with the fresh tomatoes you will need, bell peppers (red, yellow, orange, and green) of any colour, onion, and garlic. All these veggies will be blended with tomatoes.
For spices, you’ll need paprika, garlic, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, pink Himalayan salt or sea salt, freshly ground black peppercorns, and the star, dried bay leaf.
This recipe is dairy-free, I honestly have never put milk or cream in my Bolognese sauce, and neither did my mother, aunt, and grandmother. Maybe it is an Italian thing, but I’m not Italian, I am Latina. That could be the reason I never eat spaghetti Bolognese in restaurants, because I end up with a stomachache and bloated, apart from the gluten in the spaghetti of course. Anyway, this recipe is dairy-free for all those that are dairy intolerants.
HOW DO YOU DO THE BOLOGNESE SAUCE?
First of all, you need to peel the tomatoes. The best way for this is to place them in a big pot with water and boil them for 5 to 10 minutes until you start seeing the skin coming off. After peeling off the tomatoes place them in a food processor or blender with bell pepper, garlic, and onion, then blend until smooth.
Place some organic raw cold-pressed coconut oil in a cast-iron casserole pot or any medium or big pot you have, and heat up to medium temperature. Put the mince lean beef of your choice, all the spices, and with a wooden spoon stir in and break all the meat so it is fine and loose and not thick and nuggetty. After it is cooked through and browned add the sauce and cook for 10 – 15 minutes at medium-low temperature.
Enjoy!
