Chef Lyles Homemade Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place beef, pork, and chicken in pan and turn to coat with olive oil.
• Roast in the preheated oven until meat is well browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour crushed tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups water, and tomato paste into onion mixture. Add roasted beef, pork, and chicken to tomato sauce mixture.
• Pour remaining 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour roasting pan water mixture into tomato mixture. Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Italian parsley, 2 teaspoons salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes into tomato sauce; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until sauce reduces and meat is tender, about 4 hours. Transfer meat to a dish. Adjust sauce seasonings to taste.

Steps:

• Place olive oil, onion, celery, and a pinch of salt into a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Cook until onions are very soft, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix garlic into onion mixture and cook just until fragrant, about 1 more minute.
• Pour tomatoes and their juice into a large mixing bowl and use your hands to crush the tomatoes until they look pureed.
• Mix sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, anchovy paste, white wine vinegar, Italian herbs, and red pepper flakes into vegetable mixture. Raise heat to medium and cook just until liquid has evaporated. Stir in tomato paste and bring to a simmer. Pour in San Marzano tomatoes and parsley. Bring sauce to a simmer, turn heat to low, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, adding a little water as the sauce cooks down. Stir occasionally.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a large dutch oven on the stovetop.
• Simmer for 5 to 6 hours.
• Adjust seasonings to your taste.

Steps:

• In a sieve over a medium non-reactive saucepot, strain the tomatoes of their juice into the sauce pot. Add the sherry vinegar, sugar, red pepper flakes, oregano, and basil to the tomato juice. Stir and cook over high heat. Once bubbles begin to form on the surface, reduce to a simmer. Allow liquid to reduce by 1/2 or until liquid has thickened to a loose syrup consistency.
• Squeeze each tomato thoroughly to ensure most seeds are removed.
• Cut carrot, onion, and celery into uniform sizes and combine with olive oil and garlic in a non-reactive roasting pan over low heat. Sweat the mirepoix until the carrots are tender and the onion becomes translucent, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the tomatoes and capers to the roasting pan.
• Place roasting pan on the middle rack of the oven and broil for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Tomatoes should start to brown slightly on edges with light caramelization. Remove the pan from the broiler. Place the pan over 2 burners on the stove. Add 1/2 cup of the wine to the tomatoes and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes over medium heat, and set aside.
• In a large 10 quart saucepan over medium heat, sauté the ground beef, pork and sausage until browned.
• Remove from pan and set aside.
• Drain off excess fat reserving approximately 2 tablespoons.
• Add back the meat,tomatoes and remaining ingredients and reserved fat and stir until smooth. Simmer for 3 to 4 hours on low heat, stirring often to prevent scorching.
• Add more water as needed to thin sauce and adjust seasonings to taste.
• Meat is used mostly to flavor the sauce so if desired you will need more for future meals.

Steps:

• Brown meat, drain and reserve 2 Tbs of fat.
• Saute onions in olive oil if using lean meat or use reserved fat.
• Dissolve cornstarch with tomatoes. (Can blend at this point for desired texture).
• Add meat and remaining ingredients and simmer about an hour. (Can be done on low in a crock pot for longer).

Steps:

• Blanch, peel and core the tomatoes. Chop them so they are in smallish pieces. Place in roaster.

• Seed and clean the peppers. Cut in chunks and toss in the food processor. Process until finely chopped. Pour into tomatoes. Stir up well.
• Add remaining ingredients except the bay leaves, allspice and fennel. Take these and divide into two cheese cloth sections. Take each cheese cloth and tie it with spices enclosed. Add to tomatoes.
• Start roaster at about 300°F Get it hot, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 3 hours.
• Turn cooker down to 200°F and let simmer either all day or overnight. (I let it go overnight, and when I came out of the bedroom, the house was filled with yumminess).
• Once it reaches the consistency you like, I like mine thick, ladle hot sauce into clean, hot quart jars. Wipe rim clean, place two part canning lids in place and tighten to finger tight.
• Put hot jars into readied pressure canner, process according to processors directions for 25 minutes.
