Bolognese
This Italian sauce is a classic. The longer it
can simmer in the Multicooker the better
the flavors will be.

Slow Cook
Makes 6 cups
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium onion, peeled and finely
chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely
chopped
1 medium celery stalk, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves peeled and finely

chopped vegetables including garlic. Sauté
vegetables until soft and fragrant, about 5

ground meats, including sausage, in two to
three batches, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
Cook until completely browned, breaking up

evaporated. Add the wine and simmer until
liquid has completely evaporated. Add the
remaining salt, pepper and tomatoes to the
