Beef, hot sausage and veal, pancetta, peppers, onions, celery and herbs. Clamatto juice, tomato paste, san marzanos and pommodori for the sauce. Two big heads of California garlic roasted. Apple for smoke. Had company so no other pics but it was really good with the smoke.

    Wow. Steven what is it used for? My mouth is watering
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.   

  • Looks great! Do you make your own gnocchi?

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Looked it up. So you put that over Italian dumplings made with potatoes and flour. OMG that must be good. Bet it is crazy good over pasta.

    Thanks guys,

    I use a small potato masher to break up the ground meats. I really like this.

  • Mickey I bet you if you poured the sauce over old saddle leather it would make that taste good.

    LS I am a sucker for anything potato, but all I would need is a spoon, fresh Italian bread.a chunk of Parma cheese and that sauce to be very happy.

    Ok, but I'm serious, I measure nothing. Pancetta on a slow flame til the fat renders,

    3/8" chunks. Get the fat flowing and put the onions and celery in. Then the peppers and raw garlic. Then some sweet mini peppers. Then take it all out and drain the fat. Then brown the sausage, beef and veal and mix in the roasted garlic. Drain all that, put a little fat in the frypan and cook the tomato paste. Then put in the san romanos, clamatto juice and pommodori. Then put the rest of the crap in and simmer on the egg at 350* for two or three hours. Best I can do lads.
