Lazy Mans Soutzoukakia A Greek Style Bolognese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brown the beef with the optional onion, optional garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper in a large, ovenproof skillet (I use one that's made of castiron). When the meat is thoroughly cooked -- it will take 8 to 10 minutes -- drain off any fat and take everything out of the pan. Now put the still-frozen ravioli into the pan, breaking them up if they are clumped. Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the ravioli, and ladle the spaghetti sauce evenly over the ground beef mixture. Over medium heat, without stirring, cook until the ravioli is heated through and beginning to brown on the bottom -- about 10 minutes.
• Take the skillet off the heat, lay the provolone slices over the ground beef mixture, and sprinkle the whole thing with the Parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to directions on box.
• While pasta is cooking, brown the ground beef with the garlic, cumin, onion, salt and pepper.
• Once beef has browned and the onions are translucent, add the wine and the pasta sauce and simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve over pasta.

Steps:

• 1. Soak bread in wine for 5 min and then squeeze out excess liquid.

• 3. Pinch off 1 tbsp of meat mixture and mold it into little footballs or cigars. Place in casserole baking dish.
• 4. Combine spaghetti sauce with wine, cinnamon and cloves and pour over uncooked meatballs.
• 5. Bake uncovered in a preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Mix the meat, egg, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs and cumin together. Add salt and pepper.
• Use the flour to form the meatballs with your hands ( not too small, not too big ).
• Deep fry the meatballs in vegetable oil in a low heat. Do not overcook them.
• Remove them from the pan and throw away the oil, apart from a few teaspoons.
• Shallow fry the tomato and peppercorns. Season.
• Add the tomato paste, the red wine and the stock diluted in water ( dont add too much water or the sauce will become runny ).
• Add a pinch of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice.
• Add the meatballs back to the pan and simmer in a very low heat for approximately 10 minutes, until the sauce is nice and thick.
• Serve with rice.
