Pasta Sauce Recipe
This is something I can cook, and it turns out well, so, here goes the recipe.
Ingredients:
500g minced pork
1000g sieved tomatoes
1 onion
1 garlic clove
2 vegetable stock cubes (assuming 2 cubes together are good for 1 l of water according to their instructions)
oil
If neccessary, for example if it’s still half-frozen, pluck the minced pork into bits using two forks.
Put some oil (1-2 tablespoons or so) in a big-ish pot and heat. Fry the pork in the oil, stirring frequently, and “cutting” through too big lumps of meat with whatever you are using to stir.
Dice the onion, and add into the pot when the meat is just about done on the outside. Run the garlic through a press and add that, too. The onions should turn transluscent, but not brown.
Then add the pureed tomatoes, and the instant vegetable stock (you should just drop in the dry cubes, NOT cook a litre of broth and add that).
Let cook on small heat for a while until you like the consistency of the sauce.

Huh. Minced pork isn’t that common around here, but I could substitute ground turkey. Also, I wonder if I’d have to change the stock cubes — the kind I get are good for about 250 mL* water per cube when making broth (so about 4 per liter), which would suggest yours are twice as big.
But it sounds tasty. Might have to try it.
* ‘About’ because everything is in imperial units here, but I can just go with 500g is about a pound, and 1 liter is about four cups. It’s not like it’s baking or science.

@Becca Stareyes: Yeah, that’s exactly why I checked how much water they needed. I guess you could try with two or three first, and only add more if it tastes like it’d need more seasoning.

MM! That sounds really good, I should try to make it next time I’m making pasta!
