Chicken & Roasted Pepper Bolognese Subs.You're in overload now but I'll post this anyway.
This wonderful bolognese is meant to go over pasta but I put it into hoagies. It makes a terrific sub.
Chicken and Roasted Pepper Bolognese
Serves 6
3 red bell peppers, halved, stemmed and seeded
Olive oil for brushing
3 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic chopped (or 1 tbsp jar chopped garlic)
8 oz mixed mushrooms, chopped (variety your preference)
1-1/2 lb ground chicken or turkey
1/2 cup white wine
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 (16-oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup basil, julienne
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese (or Parmesan), divided
Salt and Pepper
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on bottom of oven, making sure not to cover entire oven bottom. Brush peppers well with olive oil and roast until well blackened. Place peppers in a zip-top plastic bag and cool until room temperature. Remove from bag, reserving any juices that accumulate. Peel and discard skin. Finely chop peppers. Set peppers and juices aside.
In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown. Add ground chicken and cook until chicken is well browned. Add white wine and cook, stirring until all liquid is evaporated. Stir in tomato paste and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add tomatoes, chicken stock, and peppers with reserved juices, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 45 minutes, stir in parsley and basil and cook for another 20 minutes.
Note:
This sauce freezes very well.
