Making Ragu tonight!

Asked on 22 Oct 2024 by Norman Bates

Hi there

I'm planning on making Delia Smiths ragu tonight.

I have 500g of pork and 500g of beef, the recipe needs 450 of each, I do not want to waste the rest of the meat.

Do you have any ideas what I could do with the excess? If I can add it to the dish plus some more stock or something?

Kind regards
Eral

Hello Eral,

I would put all the meat in and like you suggest adding a bit more wine and tomatoes or tomato paste.

You may not be aware that Delia uses an old-fashioned kitchen tablespoon which is equivalent to 2 dessertspoons.

Best wishes

Lindsey
