Amazing Traditional Deer Spaghetti Bolognese

Directions

• Heat a large pot under medium-high heat. When hot, add the vegetable oil, the carrots, the onion and the salt, and cook while stirring and lightly mashing until lightly pureed, for 3 minutes. Add the deer, the pork and the pepper. Cook while occasionally stirring until the meat is fully colored and broken down, for 5-8 minutes. Add the tomato paste, the garlic, the Chili flakes and the oregano and cook for 2 minutes while stirring.
• Add the wine. Rub the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to lift any fond from the pot. Let the wine come to a boil and reduce for 2 minutes.
• Add the broth and reduce to half while occasionally stirring, 5-10 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and reduce to half while occasionally stirring, 5-10 minutes. Add the nutmeg, the balsamic vinegar and the milk. Stir and reduce for another 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Add sugar if the sauce is too acidic to your taste. Add pasta water if too thick.
• Done! Serve the Bolognese sauce on spaghetti or your favorite pasta topped with Parmesan cheese, chili flakes, garlic mushrooms (click here for my mushroom-recipe) and/or minced basil. You can also can the sauce or freeze it for future consumption.
