method


1 - Scrape carrots, rinse them and cut them into chunks.
2 - Rinse celery stalks and cut them into chunks.


3 - Remove the peel from the onion slice it.
4 - Combine the vegetables in a chopper to obtain small pieces.


5 - Mince the mortadella and sausage in the chopper too.
6 - Put a large pan (preferably a clay one) over medium heat with chopped vegetables, and extra virgin olive oil, for about 5 minutes.


7 - Add the ground meat, the minced mortadella and sausage.
8 - Add two knobs of butter.


9 - Brown the meat over medium heat for about 30 minutes.
10 - Add the white wine and let it evaporate.
