List of ingredients for Lentil lasagne (TM)


* 350g Puy lentils
* 125g Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese (for a vegetarian alternative, use Bookham's Twineham Grange cheese)
* 30g Butter
* 2 tablespoons Olive oil
* 1 large Onion, thickly sliced
* Garlic to taste, thickly sliced
* 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
* 600g Vegetable stock
* Seasoning
* 40g Plain flour
* 40g Butter
* Freshly ground white pepper
* Freshly Ground Nutmeg - use plenty
* 600g Milk
* Lasagne sheets (use the ones that don't require cooking first)
* Extra Butter for dotting (optional)

===Method===
* Wash the Lentils and put them in a jug covered with Boiling water.
* Meanwhile cut the Cheese into chunks, add to the bowl '''6 seconds / Speed 10''''''Bold text'''
* Remove from the bowl and reserve
* Add the Butter, Oil, Onion and Garlic to the TM bowl '''25 minutes / Speed 1 / Temp Varoma / Reverse blade / MC off''', but increase to '''Speed 2 for the last 10 minutes'''
* Drain the Lentils and add to the bowl '''2 minutes / Speed 2 / 100° C / Reverse blade / MC off'''
* Add the Coriander and Vegetable stock '''25 minutes / Speed 2 / 100° C / Reverse blade / MC off''' - much of the liquid should have been absorbed. If not, increase the cooking time, but watch it because you don't want the mixture to be totally absorbed
* Season to taste, but bear in mind that the Cheese will be salty
* Remove from the bowl and reserve
* Rinse the bowl so that any traces of the Lentils mixture have disappeared (no need for a thorough wash)
* Add the Butter, Flour, Pepper, Nutmeg and Milk to the rinsed out bowl '''7 minutes / Speed 4 / 90° C / MC on'''
* In the meantime, preheat the Oven 200° C (400° F - gas 6), [fan oven 180° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]
'''To prepare for the Oven '''
* Take a Lasagne or Baking dish and pour half of the Lentil mixture into the bottom - spread it out fairly evenly
* Cover with Lasagne sheets
* Pour half of the Sauce over the sheets, then top with half of the Grated Cheese
* Add the remaining Lentils, Lasagne sheets, Sauce and Cheese as just described
* Dot the top layer of Cheese with Butter if desired.
* Bake for about 45 minutes
* Adapted and converted for Thermomix from a recipe by Rose Elliot
