Tomato Sauce With Meat Recipe

Ingredients

1 medium onion, finely chopped 

6 tablespoons olive oil 

1 pound ground beef 

2 small carrots, finely chopped 

1 stalk celery, finely chopped 

1/2 cup small peas, fresh or frozen 

1 cup dry white wine 

2 28-ounce cans plum tomatoes, drained and passed through the medium disc of a food mill 

1 dried bay leaf 

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine the onion and olive oil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beef, carrots, celery, and peas. Cook, stirring and breaking up meat with the back of a spoon, until meat is no longer pink, about 8 minutes

Add wine, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, for 40 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Remove and discard bay leaf before using.
