Turn it up high, lid off, stir furiously. It'll reduce.

Hi Notinthemood....

just keep simmering away I'm afraid with the lid off or you could thicken with a little cornflour and water to really cheat but the purists would probably hang you!!

ditto justonemorethread Wink as I said the purists would hang you, Mutt i realise cornflour worth shaking head over! Blush

Grin Mutt

The important question now though is why was your bolognese watery?

I use red lentils too, they work a treat!

catinboots · 10/05/2012 19:24

Lentils as a filler? I'll have to try that. Especially as meat is soooo expensive.

Yup gravy granules good for emergency thickening of bolognaise or stews
