Pot Of Italian Goodness (Version Of Sunday Gravy) instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large stock pot. Brown all the meat ingredients. Do each one at a time. Start with sausage, then meatballs, pork ribs, and lastly the beef necks. After each ingredient is browned, take it out and set it aside. For the sausage, use 2-3 links cut into small bite-sized pieces. NOTE: The reality of getting exactly 2lbs of one ingredient or another, isn't possible. So, feel free to add a bit more of one thing or another depending on preference..
- As you're browning the beef necks, dice your onion. Once browned, throw the onion in and saut? for 5 mins..
- Mince garlic cloves and throw them in the pot. Saut? for another 5 mins..
- Add in tomato paste. Coat all ingredients. (Sometimes I use the paste with Italian seasoning. Your preference is fine.).
- Add whole tomatoes, juice and all. While you are putting the tomatoes in the pot, crush each one with your hand..
- Add bay leaves. And keep heat on medium low until the mixture hits a low, slow boil. Periodically stirring. By this time, you've probably been cooking 30 mins. Cook another 30 and then turn the heat down to a low simmer..
- After 1 full hour, add the browned pork ribs..
- After another hour add the sausage. Periodically stirring..
- After another hour, salt and pepper the sauce to taste. Then add the meatballs. Cook for one last hour..
- You can always eat this dish alone. But consider eating this Pot of Italian Goodness with garlic bread, a side salad, or a side of pasta..
