Bolognese sauce is a top recipe in many ways: it tastes good to most people, it is relatively quick to prepare and it can be made with meat as well as vegetarian or vegan.
There are many different approaches to Bolognese sauce, not everyone uses the same ingredients.
There is usually at least one ingredient that makes your personal Bolognese sauce special – whether it’s carrots, celery or even chocolate.
But you probably wouldn’t have expected this one special ingredient: Instant coffee powder.
This will make your Bolognese special
Even if it sounds very experimental at first, it’s worth a try. It’s important that you use instant coffee powder for your Bolognese and not freshly brewed coffee, otherwise you’ll taste the bitter substances.
There are different ways to add the powder. For example, you can pour it over the minced meat or the vegetarian or vegan alternative and fry it briefly.
Or you can add a teaspoon of instant coffee to some chicken, beef or vegetable stock to dissolve it. Then you can add the mixture to the sauce.
Don’t worry, your Bolognese won’t taste like an espresso afterwards. However, the coffee powder will intensify the flavors of the sauce.
The sweet taste of the tomatoes is balanced and the perfect Bolognese is created.
