Italian Red Sauce

  1. Sauté garlic and onions in olive oil in a 4-5 quart heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium heat. Stir often, and cook until translucent and soft. Add diced carrots.
  2. Add all tomato products, including juice. Add wine and Worcestershire sauce. Lower heat to simmer.
  3. Add salt, sugar, oregano, basil, parsley, and pepper, and stir often over low heat. Cook about 1-1½ hours to help sauce develop flavour.

Bison Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 177℃.
  2. In a large bowl, add ground bison, egg, onion, parsley, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, basil, and Worcestershire sauce, and mix well with your hands. Form into walnut sized balls, and place on an oiled cookie tray, careful not to overcrowd and let the meatballs touch.
