Title: Lasagne - meat cookbook (I think!) review
Post by: JulieO on May 25, 2010, 12:05:25 pm

I made this today from a recipe I saved from a newsletter sent from HO a little while ago.  I'm pretty sure it's from the new Meat book.  Supposed to use kangaroo mince, but I used beef instead.
 
The thin slices of pumpkin and spinach steaming in the varoma while the meat sauce was cooking made for one pot cooking.  I did find though that it wasn't very tomatoey nor did it have the red colour that you usually get when making lasagne, however we really  liked it and it was a nice change from the usual recipes that I use.

I will definitely make again.  4/5.

This looks really good! It's on page 114 in 'Meat on the Menu' under "Kangalanga Lasagne". Did you use the Braggs or Shoyu seasoning that it suggested? - What is it??

Hi Naynay. 
I'm not completely sure but I have seen a Braggs product in the health food shop and Shoyu is a type of soy sauce (I think ??? ??? ???).  Bragg's is a brand and the product is meant to be a health tonic.  You can get both a healthfood shops, but I have seen the shoyu in the health isle in the supermarket too.
Cheers

Thanks JulieO - really appealing  :-* :-* :-* :-*   Lasagne is one of those dishes that I love using the TMX to make - pasta made in it, bechamel without worry of lumps, grate the parmesan, make the ragu - brilliant

Funnily enough lasagne was one of the things that I was really looking forward to making in the TMX for all the reasons you say Thermomixer - it really is so much easier, especially the bechamel, and of course so easy to make the pasta dough. I ran out of bechamel so just whipped up another half batch in five minutes!

Thanks guys  ;D

NayNay I used light soy sauce as I can't get the braggs that was listed.  I did a google search for a replacement and soy sauce was recommended.  :)

Looks good versaceyoyo.  :)
