Chorizo And Bacon Lasagne Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2. In a medium pan heat chorizo (if in casing remove casing - we only need the filling :D). Cook through and pour it into a dish to set to the side for now.
• 3. Chop onion, green pepper, and garlic. Heat oil in the pan. Add ingredients to the pan. Heat until slightly translucent.
• 4. Add sauce and chorizo to the pan with onion mixture. Keep on medium heat until heated through.
• 5. Break egg into a bowl. Add cottage cheese and mix.
• 6. Spray casserole dish with Pam/grease with butter/whatever you prefer (I like Pam). Layer some of the meat until it covers the bottom of the dish.
• 7. Sprinkle some cheese on top of the meat.
• 8. Drop spoonfuls of cottage cheese mixture next and spread. Then place the bake-ready lasagna strips over that (covering the cottage cheese). Finish this layering process and end with either meat or cottage cheese. Top with remaining cheese, salt, and pepper.
• 9. Pop in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes. Check it - if it's bubbling, it's done. Let sit for about 10 minutes or more. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Strain the canned tomatoes into a sieve set over a bowl.
• Spoon some of the juice into the base of a heatproof dish then place four of the lasagna sheets on top.
• Scatter over half of the chorizo, some of the cherry tomatoes and juice, and a few sage leaves.
• Spoon over about a quarter of the mascarpone and top with a quarter of the fontina or mozzarella. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Top with a second layer of lasagna sheets, followed by the same filling again. Finally cover with a last layer of lasagna.
• Dot the remaining mascarpone and fontina or mozzarella on top of the lasagna and scatter over the Parmesan. Set the dish on an oven tray and bake for 30 minutes, until bubbling and golden.

Steps:

• For the polenta: Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a large pot. Add the polenta and whisk until fully incorporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the salt and cook, covered, over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes. Finish by folding in the melted butter. Keep warm while you prepare the chorizo.
• For the chorizo: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until almost translucent, and then add the ground pork. Brown 4 to 5 minutes while breaking the pork pieces up with the back of a wooden spoon. Add the paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, chili powder and cumin, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute longer to toast the spices, and then add the vinegar, garlic and tomatoes. Simmer until the sauce is thickened and reduced, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and season once more with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• For assembly: Wash, drain and finely slice the chard. Heat the garlic and some olive oil in a large pan and saute, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain in a colander and squeeze out any excess moisture.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-by-8-by-2-inch gratin dish or an oval 9-inch cast-iron pan. Pour half of the polenta in and spread out evenly. Top with half of the chorizo and all of the Swiss chard. Sprinkle with half of each cheese. Repeat with a layer of the remaining polenta, then the remaining chorizo, and finally the remaining cheese. Cover with foil, place the dish on a sheet tray and bake 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, 15 minutes longer. Let sit 25 minutes to set up, then cut into portions and serve.

Steps:

• Fry the onions in the oil for about 15 mins until golden. Add the oregano and bacon and fry for 5 mins more, stirring frequently. Tip in the tomatoes, season and bubble uncovered for 5 mins. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.
• Meanwhile, make the white sauce. Pour the milk into a pan and tip in the butter and flour. Whisk continuously over a moderate heat to incorporate the flour, then simmer, stirring until thickened. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
• Spoon a third of the tomato sauce on the base of a lasagne dish. Top with a third of the lasagne sheets. Then top with a third sauce, a third lasagne, the last of the tomato sauce and finally the last sheets of lasagne. Pour over the white sauce and scatter with the cheese and an extra grating of nutmeg. Chill. If eating straight away, bake at 190C/170C fan/gas 5 for 40 mins until golden and bubbling. Scatter with basil, if you like, and serve with a salad and garlic bread.
• To freeze, cool completely, then wrap in cling film, then foil. Will store for 3 months. To serve, thaw for 6 hrs in a cool place. Unwrap and bake at 190C/170C fan/gas 5 for 50-60 mins until thoroughly heated through.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan or wok, then cook the onions for 5-10 mins or until they start to colour. Add the chorizo, peppers and some seasoning, and cook for a few mins. Pour in the passata with 150ml water, then cover and cook for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, beat the fromage frais and egg with the cheese, then season.
• Spoon a third of the tomato sauce mixture into the base of a deep lasagne dish. Put 3 sheets of lasagne in a single layer on top, then cover with a third more sauce and 3 more lasagne sheets. Cover with the remainder of the sauce and sheets, then pour the cheese sauce on top. Bake for 40-50 mins until the topping is set and starting to colour. Serve sprinkled with basil leaves.
