You can also add vinegar to apple cider it cooks out just a couple tablespoons and helps flavour nicely. Sugar vinegar is sweet and sour, savoury is your mince salt is tomatoes salt stick, and butter is onions.
Grego please give us your upbringing around cooking and food. I'm sure some of your followers worked in a kitchen at some point in their lives however there are always people that just have a passion for food. Love your work
yeah grego, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away i was married to a chef, and i learned many things. i learned that i was always wrong and nothing was ever good enough for her, but i also learned that chefs always sugar their tomatoes to balance the acidity in the tomato. so well done.
Spaghetti is the culprit for me. I can eat bolognese without pasta and have zero heartburn or bloating. Good to see you back in the kitchen Gregory! The fast foods vids I'm not a fan of because I don't eat that crap. My elderly father wanted a fillet of fish recently so I went to maccas. 1 fillet of fish and 4 hash browns was $17. That's insane. I've got no idea why people shop at any fast food joint.
Everyone’s got there own bolognaise sauce this looks just as good as any. I stopped getting the dolmio grin years ago and always make my own. 👍🏻 another finger lickin good recipe.
If you ever wanna try it, vegemite in spaghetti Bolognese goes really nice. It sounds weird, but someone I knew gave me some and honestly, I've loved it ever since.
GregO please try Seafresh in Tarragindi. On ur quest for the best fish n chips. The potato scallops are a must ! Is like four layers of scalloped potatoes and the calamari is as thick as ur wrist! And the fish is so fresh no horrible smell. Cheers for the spag bol tips , Ally 😊
Use the left over spag sauce and place it in a Ramekin. Crack an egg into it and season it with salt and pepper ( chilli flakes optional). Place it in the oven at 180 degrees celisius until the egg is cooked to your liking and eat it with toast soldiers
Love your reviews, super funny and honest. Honestly I am a massive pasta lover and super fussy, if you wanted to level up your spag ball/bol I would add a splash of red wine with your beef and reduce it down a lil before the tomatoes are in, hopefully that doesn't give you heartburn, and would give your flavor a next level. Also if you wanted to get rid of the tomatoey taste a lil and make it taste a bit more rich/gravyish my secret is a half teaspoon of vegemite, it sounds ridiculous (I know), but anyone that hasn't tried it just doesn't know lol, I would also add diced bacon if you like it, but that would definitely give you heartburn lol, anyway this is just my opinion, all the best, keep up the great work mate :)
I had this situation also. Things that had to go? anything with a tomato concentrate or sauce of any kind. The worst one is or was my favourite, Sausage rolls. Those things near kill me now with idegeation. Takes about 24 hours to get over a sausage roll.
It's the content of salt and sugar, the best way to make this dish is to cook the tomatoes and onions in shallow water there's no need for salt or sugar as the salt and sugar is in the pasta/spaghetti.. As an experimental chef I can tell you, you don't need to add salt to meat when it's already in the meat protein cooking meat in its own juices brings out the flavour
@@illbill99 I am all about healthier cooking I'm a sustainable holistic experimental chef I have created a better way to eat food without adding extra salt to protein that has its own salts and sugar levels and make food still taste Iike it has seasoning.
Did you Know? Traditional Bolognese Sauce does not contain tomatoes at all? Fry up some onion, carrot, celery and garlic, add half beef/pork mince, add vege stock, couple heaped tablespoons of tomato paste, cup of milk, cup (or two) of red wine.... Simmer a couple hours. Dude! Good sauce right there!
'Roma' tomatoes have the least amount of acidity and are sweet when fully ripe. If you'd like to be a bit adventurous then try Kumatoes for a pasta sauce.
Wow, looks like you’ve mist that spag bolog divinity here uh GregO on one that you know I’ll like comment’n subscwibe on but pass on the mimicking with all them tomats - glad you found the remedy though to keep up the good fight. Carn Lions 🦁- cheers Gibbo
I love to roast the tomatoes with red peppers , onion , garlic and a fresh chilli for a bit of spice.. once roasted blitz up in a blender with fresh herbs...lovely, yummy sauce x
I asked google bard for help in regards to your heartburn issue and was pleasently surprised by the results. That and I wish you would utilise your pressure cooker more. This would’ve been perfect on the beef setting (30 mins) tenderises the meat like it cooked for hours and compresses all the flavours to make it even more yummy. What additive can I add to pasta sauce so it doesn’t cause heartburn Draft 1 Here are some additives you can add to pasta sauce to reduce its acidity and prevent heartburn: * Baking soda: Baking soda is a base that neutralizes acids. Add a pinch of baking soda to your pasta sauce for every cup of sauce. Be careful not to add too much, as it can make your sauce taste bitter. * Dairy products: Dairy products, such as milk, cream, and butter, can also help to neutralize acid. Add a splash of milk or cream to your pasta sauce, or stir in a knob of butter. * Sweet vegetables: Sweet vegetables, such as carrots, onions, and bell peppers, contain natural sugars that can help to balance out the acidity of tomatoes. Add some chopped sweet vegetables to your pasta sauce, or puree them and add them to the sauce. * Herbs and spices: Some herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, and rosemary, can also help to reduce the acidity of pasta sauce. Add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs and spices to the sauce to taste. Here are some tips for making a heartburn-friendly pasta sauce: * Use fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes. Canned tomatoes are often more acidic than fresh tomatoes. * Remove the skins and seeds from the tomatoes before adding them to the sauce. The skins and seeds are the most acidic parts of the tomato. * Cook the sauce over low heat for a longer period of time. This will help to reduce the acidity of the sauce. * Avoid adding too much fat or oil to the sauce. Fatty and oily foods can worsen heartburn. If you are still experiencing heartburn after making these changes, you may want to try taking an over-the-counter antacid before eating pasta sauce. You can also talk to your doctor about other ways to manage your heartburn.
I put a fine 1/4 slit in my tomatoes and boil them five minutes and they turn out Awesome!!!👍 and a Tablespoon of Vegemite makes it soooo ohmamhi. How do you spell omami? Ohmamhi? Ohmamhi? Well it's fucken tasty!!!
Hey Grego. Italians will be horrified by you breaking the pasta in half 😅. I leave mine as is. I do add oil to the boiling water and with a little bit of salt and add my spaghetti and give the pasta a stir
Also add carrots as you are supposed to with Bolognese sauce. The fibre helps the digestive system. Seems you are juat making it up and changing a classic it when you never had to
Greg, ARE you related to MICK Hadley that used to sing for the Impacts & the Purple Hearts with Lobby Lloyd back in the 60s/early 70s? Seeing you are a muso as well, I thought there MIGHT have been a connection as you were both from Brisbane/SEQ. Cheers bro!

Damn straight! Never put oil in your pasta water. Salt the water not the pasta and with a heavy hand, and stir it in to dissolve most of it before you add the pasta. I also always reserve a bit of pasta water to add to my sauces. Also - Personally I never break pasta, I know a lot of people feel very strongly about it but honestly it's just my preference cause I enjoy the longer strands.
I'm sure the way you cooked the sauce tasted good , but you still probably got heartburn. To keep from getting heart burn with spaghetti drain and Rinse pasta ! Most important is the way its cooled your beef . Heat pan only ad salt fully cook drain and Rinse. Put back into a pan season and other ingredients no fat no butter or sugar . It's not the store bought sauce it's the fat, starch and sugar that's giving you heart burn .same goes for taco meat you got to cook it with only salt drain Rinse first then cook with other ingredients .
If you make the Bolognese sauce like its supposed to be made and made in Italy, you wouldnt need to come up with silly solutions. Just use concentrated tomato paste and make a well in the middle of the meat and fry it off. Then simmer the sauce for a few hours at least. You need to cook the acidity off. Simple
@@natferra9062 the sauce exists (see below) talking about the shit show that causes heartburn. Just do it right and stop eating shite and believe in the original recipe ffs ha
Fresh versus canned Tomatoes doesn't have anything to do with the acid levels. Sugar "cuts" the acidity and helps to mask it but doesn't actually change anything. A pinch of Baking Soda changes the pH and chemically reduces the acid level. I always do a little of both myself.
You're not getting acid reflux from tinned tomatoes you're getting it because you don't render your meat and you add more oil/butter to your sauce.. See that massive pool of oil in your bolognaise at the end? That gives you heartburn.
Greg literally just broke every single rule to making bolognese
Hey Greggo. Here’s a tip. Add a pinch of baking sods to your tomato sauces, it’ll make it taste nicer and reduce acidity.
Baking soda tho not sod. 😊but I knew what you meant. 🖖
I agree with the soda.
Greg's not here to take your lousy cooking advice mate.
This is Greg's kitchen not Deadbeats kitchen
You can also add vinegar to apple cider it cooks out just a couple tablespoons and helps flavour nicely. Sugar vinegar is sweet and sour, savoury is your mince salt is tomatoes salt stick, and butter is onions.

I ALWAYS use canned tomatoes, but then I don't really have an acid problem! Nice recipe! Fresh tommys are good too of course!
you have to cook as long possible, even bottled passata , that’s the secret of goos tomato sauce, real tomatoes or bottled

1.5-2 teaspoons worth
