Katherine cooked and dehydrated this Bolognese recipe at home and served it over Penne pasta to eight hungry hikers at 10,980 feet in the Rockie Mountains.
Ingredients:
|
How to Make Bolognese: Sauté sausage, chicken and onion in oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until browned, 5-7 minutes. Drain off fat and transfer to a 4- to 6-qt. slow cooker. |
|
Mince onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in a food processor. Transfer to slow cooker. |
|
Add to slow cooker and mix well. Cook over low heat for 4 to 6 hours then uncover and cook on high for 1 hour to thicken. |
Dehydrate:
Remove meat chunks and dry on separate dehydrator trays. Spread remaining mixture on dehydrator trays in thin layers and dehydrate until moisture is removed. Sauce will have a leather consistency, not brittle.
On the Trail:
To rehydrate, boil 1 quart of water and add dehydrated sauce. Heat until desired consistency. May need to add more water.
Add: ½ cup Mascarpone or cream cheese. Stir in until melted and warm.
For backpacking try powdered milk or pack in cream cheese.
Serve over cooked Penne (8-ounce package) and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
