Comment on Bolognese Meat Sauce by gourmetmommy

This is essentially her recipe x4! Since you like bechamel, you might like my ridiculously decadant use of this sauce: take a pasta that can scoop up a lot of sauce–medium shells, conghiale, something like that. Cook, then toss with 2 cups of bolognese, divide into individual crocks or ramekins. Then pour 1/4 cup or so of cream into each crock, top with really pungent fontina cheese. Bake in a hot oven until browning. It’s so bad…and soooooo good.

I make this receipe once a quarter with red wine. I actually make four batches and freeze a bunch, that way we have easy dinner on hand whenever.
Also, we like to top this with a bechamel (sp?) sauce. Pretty easy since I always have flour, milk, and butter hanging around.
It really is hands down the best ragu I have ever had in the continental U.S.

This one may be a little hard for crock potting. I think the barley would get mushy although I've never tried it. I've got some other crock pot soups though: Black Bean Soup and Chili that are easy and worth a try. Stay tuned later today too. Ragu Bolegnese recipe to come and after some up front cooking could work very well in the crock pot.

Can this recipe be adapted for the crock pot? And/ or, do you have any favorite crock pot recipes?

Love one pot meals. Your chicken barley stew is simple easy and I am sure delicious. Glad to see you are putting up some for the baby so much better than store bought..

Comment on Andouille, Chicken, and Shrimp Gumbo by gourmetmommy

I’ve had it both ways so I don’t think there’s a right way. Personally I prefer the rice on the top so I can dip the rice in the gumbo rather than it all being absorbed into the rice when it’s on the bottom. But Dan just stirs it all up anyway, so I think it’s just a personal preference! It’s great either way.

Your instructions are so clear and well written. Does it matter whether the rice is on the bottom of the gumbo or on top? Which is the preferred way or it really does’nt matter?

I just got it at my local wine store. In Baltimore, that’s Bin 604, but I think it’s pretty widely available.
