Saltsa Kima (Greek Meat Sauce) Preparation

*Note: Tomatoes should be drained and chopped. In a heavy saucepan cook the onion in a little water over medium heat until softened, then add the fat and cook the onion until translucent. Combine the ground beef with the onion, mashing with a fork and stirring until the raw color disappears. Add the garlic and wine, then cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, the tomato paste, sugar, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, salt and pepper to taste, then simmer, covered, for 30 minutes longer. Add the parsley and basil during the last 10 to 15 minutes. Cook uncovered for the last few minutes, to allow excess liquid to evaporate; the sauce should be thick. Remove the cinnamon stick before serving. Makes 4 cups. From The Food of Greece by Vilma Liacouras Chantiles. Typed for you by Karen Mintzias
