Yaras Game Lasagna Lasagne Recipes

Steps:

• Make the Bechamel Sauce:.
• Heat the cream and milk in the microwave until it is hot, but not boiling.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble, about 2 minutes.
• Gradually stir in the hot cream and milk. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, continuing to whisk, 2 to 3 minutes longer, or until fairly thick. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper. (I use about 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper).
• Directions for Assembling the Lasagna:.
• In a deep lasagna pan begin layering with thin layer of red sauce.
• Add first layer of pasta (4 sheets) on top.
• Then add layer of red sauce (about 1 cup) and béchamel sauce (about 1 cup). Sprinkle parmesan on top. Then layer a third of the mozzarella.
• Add second layer of pasta (4 sheets) on top.
• Then add another layer of red sauce (about 1 cup) and béchamel sauce (about 1 cup). Sprinkle parmesan on top. Then layer a third of the mozzarella.
• Add third layer of pasta (4 sheets) on top.
• Then add another layer of red sauce (about 1 cup) and remaining béchamel sauce. Sprinkle parmesan on top. Then layer remaining mozzarella.
• Add fourth and final layer of pasta (4 sheets) on top. Then top with red sauce and sprinkle with remaining parmesan.
• Cover top of lasagna dish with cover or foil.
• Place assembled lasagna dish into oven for 50 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove cover and bake for another 5 - 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow to settle for about 15-20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• METHOD Place the meat in a non-metallic bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, a clove of garlic, the thyme and balsamic vinegar and mix well. Cover and leave in the fridge to marinate overnight.
• Put 4 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan with the onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms (if using), chilli and remaining garlic. Cover and cook over a low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the contents have softened. Once the vegetables start to stick to the bottom of the pan, set aside.
• Remove the garlic and thyme from the marinated meat and discard. In another pan, heat the remaining oil over a high heat, add the meat and cook, covered for 30-60 seconds. At this stage, the game usually releases water - as soon as this happens, drain the water and juices away. This will take the "gamey" edge off a little. You may need to repeat this procedure a few times until the meat is very dry. Season to taste and keep stirring.
• Once the meat starts to stick to the pan, add the cooked vegetables and wine and stir again. Now add the tomatoes and crumble in the stock cubes, lower the heat and stir well until the cubes have dissolved. Cover and leave to simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. At the end of the process, the sauce should be neither too stiff nor too runny. Add water or cook for slightly longer, uncovered, to achieve the right consistency.
• Meanwhile make the pasta. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the eggs. Slowly mix the eggs into the flour using your fingertips, until all the flour has been incorporated. Add a little water if the mixture is too hard, or a little semolina flour if too soft. On a work surface lightly dusted with semolina flour (if necessary), knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and leave it to rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.
• To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat. Take off the heat and stir in the flour a little at a time until you have a thick paste. Gradually add the milk, stirring to incorporate each addition before adding the next. Add a pinch of salt and the nutmeg, and then place over a medium heat and bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat and stir for 5 minutes then set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas mark 4.
• Dust a work surface with semolina flour and roll out the pasta dough into a sheet about 1mm thick. Using a pastry cutter or one of your ramekins, stamp out 24 circles of pasta.
• Spoon a layer of the game sauce, about 1cm deep, into each ramekin. Place a disc of pasta over the sauce in each ramekin. Spoon another layer of game sauce on top, then cover with béchamel. Repeat these layers (pasta, meat sauce, béchamel) at least twice more, finishing with plenty of béchamel.
• Sprinkle the pecorino on top of the dishes and place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese has browned. Leave to rest for a few minutes before serving... Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
• In a non stick frying pan, brown the meat for about 7 minutes. Season with salt.
• Drain any excess fat from the pan by placing the meat into a sieve, keep aside.
• In the same pan, fry the onion, garlic, celery, carrot and mushrooms in a little olive oil for about five minutes.
• Add the meat back to the pan and add the tomato paste and chopped tomatoes at the same time.
• Season using the oregano, basil and sugar. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
• Simmer for about 15 minutes.
• In the meantime add the spinach, zucchini, cottage cheese and egg whites together in a bowl. Using a hand blender of food processor, blitz the ingredients until you achieve a sauce.
• Spread 1/4 of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a large lasagne dish. Cover with three lasange sheets. Next add another layer, using another 1/4 of the tomato sauce and then cover with half the cottage cheese sauce. Place the remaining three lasagne sheets over the top and cover with the remaining cottage cheese sauce.
• Cover with tin foil and bake for 45 minutes. After that time, remove the foil and top with the grated mozzarella cheese. Then return to the oven for a further 15 minutes.
• Serve with a green side salad.
• Note: As zuccini contain a lot of water, you might first want to place the grated pieces in a collander and sprinkle them with a little salt. Squeeze out any excess water before adding with the other ingredients. This is optional.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan.
• Add the chopped shallots and crushed garlic, heat until the shallot is soft.

• Add the milk to the meat, cook the meat until it is brown all over.
• Add all the tomatoes and sugar, stir well.
• Add the herbs.
• Add some of the red wine and worcestershire sauce, stir.
• Add the mushrooms (if using), stir.
• Simmer on a low heat and let the liquid reduce.
• When the liquid has reduced add more worcestershire sauce and red wine. Simmer.
• Repeat this stirring, adding liquid, simmering and reduction process for at least two hours. The meat should end up very glossy and gloopy. It almost looks like it is one large blob rather than minced meat.
• Meanwhile, mix the grated parmesan and pepper into the creme fraiche, leave aside.
• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• When the meat is ready add a thin layer to cover the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Add lasagne sheets, then a thicker layer of meat. Repeat - I always end up with three layers of lasagne sheets.

• Cover the creme fraiche mixture with the grated cheddar.
