Adam shared on Twitter how to make the ‘easy’ traditional dish – but some of his techniques met with outrage
‘Fortunately, it’s very easy to make! In this thread I’ll show you how to make it!’
Adam began by chopping his vegetables into tiny pieces but opted to cook the meat first.
He added in wine before leaving it to simmer, gradually adding the rest of the ingredients.
He then left it alone to cook for a couple of hours, making sure to check it every half an hour.
But despite having over 12,000 bookmarks of people hoping to try his recipe at home, Italian social media users soon took issue with the dish.
Commenters said he should have cooked the vegetables first, and the dish was more similar to a ragù.
Elena commented alongside a goodbye wave and an Italian flag: ‘Many mistakes! 1) Vegetables ( no garlic ) are fried before to add beef +pork minced meat ( 3/1) No pancetta ! when meat is cooked add wine, let dry, then tomato passata ( no tomatoes pieces or paste ). Gently cook at lowest power for 3 hours with a lid and stir it.’
Others said: ‘Please do not say this is an Italian dish. It is probably tasty, but Bolognese sauce does not exist in Italy and Ragu differs from your recipe’;
Italian social media users soon took issue with the dish, the ingredients and the method
‘Order is kinda wrong, you really want a soffritto first, then add your meat (no pancetta or garlic), milk then wine. And no tomato paste, it’s not a tomato sauce…’;
‘Sweet Jesus, again, is not Bolognese, in Italy’; ‘Noo my friend nooo you got the order completely wrong, and the pancetta, I mean, wow that takes guts. I like you content my friend, but this is not how you do it’;
‘Although this looks delicious, bolognese doesn’t really exist in Italian cuisine. A bit like tikka masala doesn’t exist in India. There is pasta Ragu. But that’s rather different.’
