- 500g (1.1 lbs) halal ground beef
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, finely diced
- 1 celery stalk, finely diced
- 800g (28 oz) canned tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 50g (1.8 oz) gluten-free flour
- 50g (1.8 oz) olive oil or halal butter
- 500ml (17 fl oz) milk or dairy-free alternative
- A pinch of nutmeg
- 100g (3.5 oz) grated parmesan or dairy-free cheese alternative
- Start with the Bolognese sauce: Warm the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, letting them mingle until they soften and release their fragrance — about 10 minutes.
- Introduce the halal ground beef, breaking it up gently with a wooden spoon. Cook until it’s browned and welcoming.
- Stir in the tomato paste, canned tomatoes, oregano, and basil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Allow it to simmer on low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, letting the flavors marry.
- Next, prepare the béchamel: In a saucepan, melt the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Stir in the gluten-free flour, cooking for 2 minutes, creating a smooth roux.
- Slowly whisk in the milk or alternative, stirring constantly until it thickens into a creamy sauce. Add a whisper of nutmeg and a pinch of salt, then remove from heat.
- To assemble the lasagna, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread a thin layer of Bolognese sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
- Layer with gluten-free lasagna sheets, more Bolognese, and a generous ladle of béchamel. Repeat these layers, finishing with a blanket of béchamel on top.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan or cheese alternative over the top layer.
- Place the dish in the oven, baking for about 40 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling, a sight to behold.
- Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before serving, letting the flavors settle and meld. Savor each bite, a testament to tradition and care.
