Lentil lasagne

alternatively titled: “Nag, nag, nag, that man’s got more bunny than Safeways”.

Here is… *roll on drums* Emrys‘ recipe for Lentil Lasagne:

Lentil Lasagne (makes 2 large portions)

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
3oz green lentils
1 tbsp chopped parsley
sheets of lasagne (duh!)
seasoning
1 small onion, chopped
1 small carrot, diced
1 tbsp tomato puree
1/4pt vegetable stock
8oz grated cheese

Preparation

Boil the lentils for 25 minutes to soften.
Heat oil in frying pan – add onion and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.
Add carrot, cover and cook gently for 3-4 minutes.
Add lentils, tomato puree and parsley. Cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the stock and seasoning to taste. Cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes to thicken sauce.
Preheat oven to 90 degrees C/Gas Mark 5.
Assemble the lasagne: pasta + 1/2 of the lentil sauce + 3/8ths of the grated cheese + pasta + the rest of the lentil sauce + 3/8ths of the grated cheese + pasta + the remaining grated cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked.
Eat it and say “Mmmm. Thanks, Fat Man. That was scrummy.”
Give money to charity every time you enjoy it.

Tres hearty, no? That is definitely a meal that would satisfy the men. As for this old lady, I would have to take a very small portion or I would soon be a larger portion.

I should point out that this is the only vegetarian dish that my dear stepson has (knowingly) eaten and, what’s more, he took a second helping.

There is no greater compliment …

THAT sounds fantastic. I’ve copied the recipe and will try it this weekend…

But I have a question. It seems like a small amount of ingredients for a lasagne–what size baking dish are you using to cook it?

And…what exactly is “seasoning”?? I mean, that could be a LOT of things…

From memory, I think my lasagne dish is about 8″ by 10″.

‘Seasoning’ is just salt and pepper (or whatever else you’d add to a base stock to add flavour).
