I thought maybe I didn't chop the celery and carrots up small enough but the results were outstanding, so I guess it's okay. I like this recipe because the long legs of it (about 2 hours worth) can be done ahead, and the base held in the fridge for up to a week. At first I thought there was going to be a ton of sauce, but it cooks waaaaay the hell down. I expect next time I'll double or triple the recipe and plan on a week of nightly meaty goodness.
This was a seriously good meat sauce and it made the house smell wicked delicious while cooking. I love recipes with concepts like this, caramelizing the s**t out of some vegetables, cooking wines down to nothingness, and then giving some awesome herbs a bath for a few hours.I'm wondering if the base can be frozen...
