Made lasagna last night...huge tray, and I've been trying to get as much vegetables as tastily as possible into it.
Usually use eggplant and silverbeet as a couple of the layers, but the silverbeet is just about ractus at present.
So yesterday tried something different.
Bottom layer was 1" square, approximately 1/2-5/8" thick eggplant. roast pumpkin was squished between the eggplant "quadrants".
Sauce was made with 1-1/2lb prime mince (ground beef), a large red onion, large brown onion, 6 cloves garlic (large cloves). Cooked until meat has dried off.
4 tbspn salt free tomato paste, cooked a little, so it starts to colour. A tin of chopped tomatoes, tin of cherry tomatoes, cup of red wine.
2 finely chopped carrots, 2 finely chopped zukes, orange capsicum (bell pepper?), half a medium chilli, couple of mushrooms.
Spices 6 sage leaves, heap of tubed basil, oregano, and marjoram. Dessert spoon of cocoa.
had no silverbeet, so grabbed some nori from the cupboard and added that instead.
layer of eggplant/roast pumpkin, pasta, meat, pasta, meat, bechemel and cheese, or potato mash and bechemel depending on which end you eat (better half doesn't work well with cheese).
Turned out pretty good.
Neighbour was over last night...sent her home with a big plate.
Fed a family of 4, a family of 3, and I'll have lunches 'till Wednesday.
(Only told the neighbours about the Nori this afternoon, thus the question)
