He wasn't wrong about "chocolate" in spaghetti bolognese, it just wasnt in the specific recipe they were looking for. I just looked it up because its such a weird ingredient that maybe it could be true. I found a site that read adding cocoa powder to bolognese during the cooking process ads sweetness to take the edge off the tomatoes, and the chocolate flavour really adds to the rich beef juices from the mince. And I found a couple recipes with chocolate/cocoa powder

@francaperotti5934 5 жыл бұрын

Cream or milk does the same thing to the acid in the tomatoes to an authentic bolognese

@peterclarke7240 Жыл бұрын

Or, and this does work, somehow... Peel a couple of carrots and drop them in unchopped. They absorb the acid from the tomatoes, while adding their carroty sweetness. Then just remove them once cooked, and you've got a killer bolognese or chilli sauce that's suitable for your lactose-intolerant friends.
