LAMB & HARISSA LASAGNE WITH FETA AND OREGANO
SERVES 8-10
1 tbs olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
750g lamb mince
2 x 400g cans Ardmona
Chopped Tomatoes 1/ 3 cup (100g) harissa
200g marinated roasted capsicum, chopped
2 1/2 cups (600g) fresh ricotta
1 3/4 cups (350g) Danish feta
2/3 cup (165ml) milk
375g packet instant lasagne sheets
1 cup oregano leaves
1/4 cup (20g) finely grated parmesan
Green salad leaves (optional), to serve
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and lamb, and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes until browned. Stir through tomato, harissa and capsicum. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes or until thickened. Set aside to cool slightly.
Place ricotta, feta and milk in a bowl and stir until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Spread a layer of lamb mixture over the base of a 34cm x 28cm deep baking dish. Top with a layer of lasagne sheets, then one-third ricotta mixture and one-third oregano. Repeat layering twice more, finishing with a layer of ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan and cover with baking paper and foil. Bake for 30 minutes or until a knife pierces pasta easily. Remove from oven, discard baking paper and foil, and increase oven to 200°C. Top lasagne with remaining oregano and drizzle with oil. Bake for a further 15 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve lasagne with green salad, if using.
