- ½ lb ground pork
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

Instructions
- 1
Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the scallion tops, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the carrots are just tender, about 8 minutes.

Add the ground beef and ground pork to the pot. Break the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains and the meat is browned in spots, about 8–10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat if needed, leaving about 1 tbsp in the pot.
