You'll notice that some recipes are altered and are using different ingredients from the original version. I used substitutes because: you can't easily find some ingredients here in the Philippines and some authentic recipes just don't suit Filipino taste.
I always say that cooking is just plain common sense. So prove that you have the sense, haha, and start creating these gastronomical treats.
Here's a recipe of Eggplant and Lasagna Bake. My friends love this, but unfortunately, they just love the act of eating, but the mere thought of preparing this dish scares them.
Ingredients:
375 grams Lasagna sheets, cooked according to package directions
2 tsp. oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
500 grams ground beef
3 eggplants, sliced diagonally,grilled with a little oil
1 250 gram pouch Italian Style Spaghetti Sauce
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 chicken boullion cube,dissolved in 1/2 cup water
salt, pepper and sugar to taste
CHEESE SAUCE:
3 cups milk
1/3 cup flour
100 grams grated cheese
Procedure:
1. Heat oil, saute onion, garlic and beef, cook until beef is brown.
2. Add spaghetti sauce and boullion water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thick, about 20 minutes. Season to taste.
3. Preheat oven to 180C. Spread a little of the meat sauce into the base of a 9x12 inch oven proof dish. Arrange a layer of lasagna sheets in the dish. Then top with eggplants and cover with meat sauce. Repeat layers, making sure it'll end with meat sauce layer.
4. To make cheese sauce, mix ingredients for sauce with a wire whisk. Cook over very low heat and continue stirring until cheese is melted. Cook until thick.
5. Spread cheese sauce over lasagna and bake for45 minutes to an hour.
Note:
Check the Lasagna after 25 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with nonstick baking paper or foil. Leave the Lasagna for 15 minutes before slicing.
