Ingredients
ground black pepper
8 thin slices of ciabatta, toasted, to serve
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp thyme leaves
300g beef, diced
12 small pork ribs
4 medium Italian-style pork sausages
3 x 400g cans of chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato puree
8 basil leaves
fine sea salt
Method
1
Pour the oil into a large saucepan, place over a medium heat and tip in the onion with the thyme. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
2
Add the beef, pork ribs and sausages and continue to cook for 8 minutes. Make sure you turn all the meats, so they are sealed all over.
3
Now add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, basil and 100ml of hot water. Mix it all together, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, cover with a lid and cook very gently for 2 hours until the sauce is thick and shiny. Please make sure that you stir the sauce every 20 minutes, and add a little more hot water if you feel the sauce needs more moisture.
4
Serve hot in nice warmed rustic bowls, with toasted ciabatta and a good bottle of Italian red wine.
