HELP! Just added a huge slug of soya sauce to my bolognaise by mistake!

[Buda]

Meant to add Worcestshire (sp?) sauce but grabbed wrong bottle. Only notice when I saw DH look at me funny. Then i added the worcestershire sauce and now it is really salty. Any ideas?

(DH laughing that I headed in to study and said "bet you are going to as Mumsnet!)

stick a bit of tomato ketchup in to make it sweeter?

Raw potato - chop into big chunks, add to sauce and stir round for a while. Fish out and throw away before they go soft and mush into your sauce. They soak up the salt.

I just remember the raw potato trick and have done that - DH looked most bemused.

Will try that and see how it tastes.

If that doesn;t work will try the ketchup option.

If that doesn't work will order a curry!

red wine vinager and sugar mixed together (slightly less sugar to vinegar ratio)

have added some red wine. But not red wine vinegar. Will add some sugar in a mo.

ahhh that'll do. Just drink more wine if not

Not sure that will work with DS! But I certainly will.

Well it didn't turn out too badly in the end.

I added:

a potato (which I fished out later)
red wine
sugar
balsamic vinegar
milk

It was a bit liquidy so I spooned out some of the extra liquid. Cue DH sarcastically trying to explain that I couldn't spoon out the soya sauce as it would have mixed in.

DS ate it all without cajoling so that was good. DH had seconds.

you may have stumbled on something there >
