Cook chopped green pepper & mushrooms before adding to sauce?

Question

Do you have to cook chopped green pepper and mushrooms before adding it to spaghetti sauce, or just add them uncooked?

Answer 1

you can do it either way. it will taste better if you saute them until they are soft and then add them. but its is all up to the descresion of the cook.

Answer 2

Pork Chops with Cheese and Beer This substantial savoury dish combines, good home-produced ingredients. Rutland cheese is an unusual mixture made from cheddar, beer, garlic and parsley. If you can't find it, use plain cheddar and add garlic and parsley to the mixture. Ingredients Serves: 4 4 x 175 Gram Pork loin chops (6 oz) 110 Gram Rutland cheese, grated (4 oz) 1 Teaspoon English mustard 3 Tablespoon Brown ale Method Grill the chops under a moderate grill for 7-10 minutes depending on the thickness. Turn them over and grill for a further 7-10 minutes, until cooked through. Mix together the cheese, mustard and brown ale. Spread over the chops and grill until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.

Answer 3

that would depend on two things how raw you like those two items to taste in the final sauce and how Long you usually cook your sauce. One sauce that I prepare takes 8 hours of slow cooking and another takes 5 minutes if you want to leech out as much of the flavor from those items saute them in a bit of butter or olive oil then dump all of that into the sauce

Answer 4

You can add them without cooking them as long as you cook the sauce about 5 minutes to tenderize them a bit. However, for a really good flavor saute them with onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil, and then add to your sauce. MMMM good.

Answer 5

I like to cook the onions, red and green peppers (mushrooms if I use them) together with the hot Italian sausage. Then I drain it and add to the sauce. If you plan to simmer the sauce for hours, you won't need to pre-cook them.

Answer 6

most italians cook the vegetables separate than add them to the tomato sauce. that's what i do but i usually add the mushrooms after because they really don't need cooking time

Answer 7

Christan yes you can cook them greenpepers along with mushrooms too then add spagetti sauce !

Answer 8

if you let the sauce simmer for around 15 minutes you can put veggies in raw, but if you are going to serve the sauce quickly, i would cook the veggies first.

Answer 9

I add them raw and let the sauce cook them

Answer 10

I don't cook them before I add them. They come out just fine either way.
