Thank you for the comments. Nice to know there are people out there looking out for us, right?!
500grms mincesteak (good hamburger meat ,i think thats what you would call it)
250 grms minced pork (sorry ground)
125grm chopped smoked dry curded bacon
2 pieces of celery finely diced
2 mince cloves of garlic
1 carrot finely diced
1 onoin finely diced
1 500ml tin of good chopped tomatoes ( can use fresh plum but would need about 700grm)
1 tbls of tomato concentrate
1/2 pint of beef stock
1 bay leaf , sprig of thyme, sprig of rosemary , sprig of parsley all tied together or you can use about 1/2 tsp of all the above and just float the the bay leaf remembering to remove the bay leaf at the end of cooking
method ......
fry the onoins with the rest of the veg do this over a low heat with a tablespoon of olive oil , when the onions are transparent add the ground meat a litttle at a time so you dont loose the heat of the pan cook till all have brown and the grain of the meat is seperate . Add the tomatoes garlic herbs and beef stock get for seasoning although don't add too much then stir in the tomato concentrate . Pour into an oven proof dish and place in oven for 1 111111/2 hour at a moderate heat ( i used to to this on the hob but it makes such a mess and for the 1,1/2 hours you could be doing other things .
white sauce ....
half and onion and stud a bay leaf to it with three dried cloves put in a pan with 1/2 ltr of full fat milk and warm up bringing to the boil stir for 5 min to not allow to stick then turn off when cool take out the onion whisk in 50grm all purpose flour and 50 grms of butter heat slowly whisking all the time to prevent lumps do not let get to a fast boil when it thickens turn down and stir for another 2 mins till the flour cooks out , add seasong and taste
by this time the meat should be ready ;
Take out the bay leaf and start to assemble lasagna pour a little meat sauce in the bottom of the dish your dish about 1/3 full then layer the lasagna then pour more meat sauce putting more of the sauce ontop , do this once again till you add a further and last lasagna layer pour over the white sauce and sprnkle a hard strong cheese then grate a little parmesian on top this can be left till the next day ( the flavour develope overnight ) or frozen at this stage or just cooked in the oven 180c or gas mark 6 for 45 min s
I know in a lot of recipes you have to add layers on white sauce with the meat sauce but i find this makes a lighter lasagna and if you leave it to cool for 10mins its easier to serve . I like to serve it with garlic bread and a bit of rocket salad and a large glass of Rioja
