🍝 How To Make Jamie Oliver Vegetable Lasagne
- Prepare Ingredients: Trim and finely slice the spring onions. Trim the ends off the asparagus and finely slice the stems, keeping the tips whole. Set the tips aside.
- Start Cooking: Heat the oil from the anchovy tin in a large frying pan. Add half the anchovies, spring onions, and crushed garlic. Add a splash of boiled water and the asparagus stems with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Add Peas and Beans: Stir in the peas and broad beans, cooking and stirring occasionally.
- Add Cream and Mint: Roughly chop the mint leaves and add them to the pan along with the single cream. Grate the zest of half a lemon into the pan.
- Mash and Season: Roughly mash the mixture in the pan. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Stir in one tub of cottage cheese until the mixture is creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Layer Lasagne: Spoon a quarter of the vegetable mixture into the bottom of a large deep roasting tray (approx. 30 × 35 cm or 12 × 14 inches). Layer with fresh lasagne sheets and a generous grating of Parmesan. Repeat the layers until all vegetables are used, finishing with a layer of lasagne.
- Top Layer: Mix a splash of water into the second tub of cottage cheese and spread it over the top layer of lasagne. Toss the asparagus tips in a little olive oil and scatter them on top. Press down with a spoon to compact everything, then sprinkle with thyme leaves, drizzle with olive oil, and add more Parmesan.
- Grill: Increase the heat until bubbling. Place the tray under the grill for 8 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
💭 Recipe Tips
- Preheat Your Grill: Ensure your grill is hot before placing the lasagne under it. This helps achieve a golden, bubbly top.
- Use Fresh Lasagne Sheets: Fresh sheets cook better and give the lasagne a softer texture compared to dried ones.
- Mash the Vegetables Well: For a creamy texture, mash the vegetables roughly but thoroughly before layering.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the vegetable mixture and adjust salt and pepper as needed before layering. This ensures each bite is flavorful.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Drizzle a little olive oil over the top layer of lasagne before grilling. It helps with browning and adds extra flavor.
