A vegetarian cliché
* For the Bechamel sauce:
....Do I really have to insult your intelligence by telling
you how to make a
Bechamel? Oh, OK then.
Roux method: Infuse milk with a bayleaf and a little grated,
fresh nutmeg.
Add scalded milk slowly to a butter/flour roux, over a medium heat, stirring
constantly.
Balloon whisk method:
Milk, butter, flour, bayleaf, nutmeg in a pan. Bring to boil, beating like
buggery.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Note: Nutmeg must be freshly grated or there's no point. Don't over do it.
* For the so-called "meat" mixture:
Green lentils. Cook until soft, but not mushy. Drain. Reserve
liquid.
Small onion, thinly shredded. Garlic, crushed. Mushrooms, sliced. Sauté
gently in a little butter or olive oil. When soft, add lentils. If too dry,
a little of the reserved liquid.
Flavour with ground coriander, salt, plenty of black pepper.
Lentils-lasgne-Bechamel-lasagne-lentils-lasagne-Bechamel-grated
cheese.
Bake. Serve.
P.S. There has been a suggestion of
putting these recipes on the Internet.
Any creative suggestions for a) a site name, b) a nom de plume?
For a, I thought "Not Just a Load of Old Goats Cheese."
