Lasagna Project 29/34

Twenty-ninth up in the Lasagna project is Eggplant Parm Lasagna As mentioned earlier, I'm not really a fan of eggplant so I had not really been looking forward to this one but it needed to get done so here we are. Apparently eggplant is not a fan of me either as the eggplant broil phase of the recipe apparently broke my oven's temperature control system and yes that means we are trying to replace our oven now, which due to the pandemic are apparently in short supply. So.. this is the last Lasagna post until that happens. As for the lasagna, oddly it has no parm in it, it uses Pecornio instead. And the eggplant is not very up front so I actually quite enjoyed it, Of course we only discovered the broken temperature control when I did the mid-bake check and found this: A little browner then I would have expected, so it appears you can cook it at 550F in 20ish minutes if you are in a rush? I did get some very pretty eggplants for this All ready for assembly, you can see the egg

Lasagna Project 25/34

Twenty-fifth up in the Lasagna project is Porchetta-Spiced Pork Shoulder Lasagna This is a lovely variation on meat and sauce lasgana. The prochetta like spices are good and the wine braised meat works well. This ingredients shots I still really enjoy. Some before and after shots of my terrible knife skills. Braising. Assembling Baking Admiring the layering structure.

Lasgana Project 19/34

Nineteenth up in the Lasagna project is Ethiopian Lasagna This was an interesting change in the spices and cheeses of the standard meat lasagna featuring the "Berbere" spice mix, which was new to me, and some smoked paprika. Definitely one to try, and might be interesting to swap in some Teff noodles. Another change was I had a friend ( Derek ) join me in cooking starting with this one so we were swapping photos back and forth while each following along. First up the onions, tomatoes and scallions. The meat and spices result in a lovely color. Oddly the cheeses are Cheddar and mozzarella. Overall it's a pretty good looking, and tasting lasagna.
