....I just made a Bolognese sauce to go with some linguini I'm cooking later.
Secret ingredient? Branston* pickle, a massive dollop of it.
Lovely stuff.
*other pickles are available.

Sweet chilli sauce is an absolute game changer with this type of sauce.
Definite info. |  |

Where did that idea come from? I've never eaten a bolognese and thought what this needs is a pickle! |  | | |

I'd never eaten roast potatoes thinking they need basting with marmite until a mate told me about it last month. A spoonful of marmite diluted with boiling water then brushed on the spuds for the last 15 mins of cooking. Beautiful. |  | | |

Far from a secret but Worcester sauce is clearly the correct answer. |  |

That makes sense though, marmite adds a salty umami taste so would be great on roasties | | | |

....my old man first mentioned it to me.
No idea where he would have got it from.
It works though, adds a tang.

Surely you just finish off the potatoes in the juice of the meat if you want to give them some added flavour |  |

quite common to add something acid to something rich/fatty like a meat stew. Same principle as putting a gherkin on a burger. [Post edited 12 Oct 2023 19:32]

Yes true but the acidity comes from the tomatoes hence why alot of sauces/ chefs add some sugar to cut through the acidity | | | |

You can't improve on Bob Evan's sausage gravy over biscuits. |  |

Teaspoon of balsamic vinegar sets off a Bolognese sauce. Bit of the old acidic innit.
Tomato ketchup in curry bases as well. Never thought to until my Indian mate told me it’s commonplace, pretty much a staple ingredient in Indian / Bangladeshi cooking now (especially what we normally get over here). [Post edited 12 Oct 2023 20:19]

I put anchovies crushed with a fork and marmite in.
And soy sauce as someone else mentioned. [Post edited 12 Oct 2023 20:36]

I keep forgetting things, chicken livers if you can get hold of them.
Turn those into a paste and drop that in.
Near the end of cooking, add some fish sauce.
I'm not going to pretend this is my own recipe, but it's bloody good. | |
