  • Adam Ragusea made Bolognese sauce and for a great part of the video he did an incredible job, the recipe was perfect, but towards the end he destroyed everything by adding a couple of ingredients that are not included in the original recipe 😭
    I love Adam and his videos, he knows his stuff, and it's a pity that he made some little mistakes in this recipe... but as we well know "no one is perfect".

    Adam is known for loving his acidity in his food more than most people. I like his recipes because I’m the same. He has another bolognese video where he hand makes pasta and does a more traditional Ragu with pork, and no balsamic. The video you reviewed is more his “home cooking” rather than traditional cooking. Would love to see a follow up tee action to that one.

    Adam changes a lot of his recipes to adjust for his wife not liking some specific ingredients, in this case the celery.

      Whilst I appreciate tradition, there's something to be said for spiking a tomato sauce with a bit of soy sauce. It functionally disappears into the sauce, but the glutamic acid really helps to perk up the tomatoes, if you're not working with home-grown produce.
      As for the balsamic, tomatoes in US grocery stores tend to be killed by refrigeration in storage and transit, so the acid serves to bring back some of the "expected" brightness that the logistics chain will drag out of them.

    Italians really need to wrap their heads around the idea that Italian-American recipes are different. Tons of tomato and garlic and dried spices are traditional over here. That's the flavor we grew up with and are trying to hit. Americans are also generally very accepting of changing things around. All our grandmas did things very differently to each other. We take tradition as something to learn from, but then branch off on our own. It's the difference between a culture where you buy a Ferrari if you're worthy, vs one where you build up a Mustang if you're worthy. Adam familiarize himself deeply with traditional techniques, but at the end of the day, he's an American and will mix things up like one.

I've many times now seen people from China, Mexico, Poland, Greece, France, etc recognize that the cuisines made by diaspora populations in the US are their own unique evolution and that expecting them to be the same as in their own country doesn't make sense. But I've only ever seen an Italian recognize that once.

It's not like Adam said, "let's take a swing at something new." This is his version of a sauce that he grew up eating with his Italian-American family. It's not "correct" by the continental Italian standard that it must be identical to the 1850 recipe, but that's not the goal. The goal is a delicious dinner.

    I do not understand the Olive Oil, but I understand the Vinegar and Worcestershire (WOO-stuh-shr) sauce.
    Balsamic Vinegar can help balance acidy in a dish. Not sure if they need that for this dish, but with Tomato sauces you sometimes do. He did state he was making a half-Bolognese and half-Regular tomato sauce so I suspect this was used for that purpose.
    Worcestershire (WOO-stuh-shr) sauce is made from anchovies. Anchovies themselves can help make beef taste... beefier. I've seen people use it in a Bolognese for that purpose.
    Worcestershire (WOO-stuh-shr) sauce does the same thing but it's concentrated so you don't need as much. Here, it seems he used Chicken Livers for the same task.
    I would suggest trying it before decrying it so you can see the difference. I do a lot of experimentation with my food and often I like what I do, and sometimes not, but it helps you understand what people are doing.

    I would do it this way when I can spare the time:
    Sofrito (celery, carrots and onion)
    Little bit of Pancetta (maximum 50g)
    Meat (beef and pork, but I may add a little bit of lamb)
    Chicken livers
    1 or maximum 2 glasses of white wine.
    Canned tomatoes and a little tomato concentrate (one tablespoon at most)
    Rock salt
    I wouldn't use milk.
    No dry herbs and/or spices, because the herbs/spices will interfere with the flavor of the sauce.

    The ironic fact of a lot of these attempts at classic Italian recipes is that they are MORE COMPLICATED and include ingredients and processes that were NOT part of the original! The whole point of the original, time tested recipe was its simplicity. You cooked what was available (no supermarkets back then). Meat was not a main feature of a dish but simply a part of it at best... if meat was available. Italy has suffered famines while at its worst, the U.S, has not truly experienced such. Bolognese (and indeed any of the ragus) took the less than premium cuts of meat and made them shine, Most of these tougher bits actually had far superior flavor, you just had to cook them "low and slow". The inclusion of the soffrito made these more healthy than the diets that the nobility scoffed and developed gout and other illnesses from. As a person of mostly Scottish ancestry, I understand the need to utilize all that is provided, Waste not, want not.

Balsamic is usually made with a mix of white and red wine grape must. Not to mention by the nature of being vinegar and having more acetic acid, it will be more sour than wine. Long story short, he uses it to balance each other out. The white wine may be a bit too sweet and the balsamic too sour, so he uses both to balance.

      And I don't know if you realize, but there has been big Italian communities living in the US for close to 200 years now, the weird thing would be for the two cuisines to be the same, climate is different, culture is different, availability of ingredients are different, way of life was different, all those factors affect the cuisine of a place, and thus Italian-american cuisine is nowadays very different from proper Italian cuisine, and that's ok.
      Some dishes are almost non existent in Italy like Alfredo sauce or almost completely different in the US like carbonara or some variants of pizza, bashing your head against the internet wall claiming how people are doing the dishes "wrong" because there only one true right way to do a dish won't accomplish anything, Italian carbonara or napolitanean pizza might be traditional to you, but cream carbonara and NY style pizza are the dishes of the grandmothers of many people, and are to them as traditional as others might be to you
