  2. In the same cooker, sauté the diced onions, carrots, and celery until softened.
  3. Add minced garlic, stirring for a minute until fragrant.
  4. Return the minced beef to the cooker, add in the tomato paste, grated tomatoes, beef stock, bay leaf, oregano, salt and pepper.
  5. Seal the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
  6. Release the pressure naturally, then stir in the red wine and simmer open for another 10 minutes to reduce the sauce.
  7. Check seasonings, then serve this delicious bolognese sauce over your favourite pasta.

Notes

When selecting wine for your bolognese, choose one that you’d enjoy drinking – a decent merlot or malbec can elevate the dish’s flavour. If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, canned ones can substitute in a pinch.
