  • Total Time: 5 days + 20 min
  • Yield: 6

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • shallow deep dish
  • oven

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 fresh eggs
  • 500 grams to 1000 grams fine-grained salt (depending on the size of your container)

Instructions

  1. Distribute the half of your fine-grained salt evenly in the shallow deep container and form six wells for the egg yolks. You should not be able to see the bottom. The wells should be completely formed out of salt, ensuring that the egg yolks are completely surrounded by salt.
  2. Separate one egg at a time. Carefully let the yolks slide into the wells in the salt. Do not discard the egg whites – they can be used for making meringue or egg white omelet, for example.
  3. Once you have placed all the egg yolks into the wells, cover them with the other half of fine-grained salt and put them in the refrigerator for 5 days.
  4. After 5 days, take your container with the egg yolks out of the refrigerator and carefully remove the yolks from the salt. The yolk will now be very sticky and feel a bit like firmer hair gel. Rinse off the remaining salt from each yolk under cold water. Place the egg yolks on a baking rack lined with parchment paper and dry them in the oven at approximately 80°C (175°F) for one hour. Occasionally open the oven door for a few seconds to let all the moisture escape.
  5. Once the egg yolks are fully dried, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
  6. The egg yolks are now firm and ready to use. The cured egg yolks can be stored in a sealable glass jar in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks. And I like to grate a bit of them over every savory dish 🙂

  • Yield: 6

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized pot
  • baking dish (my used measurements were 20x26cm (8×10 inch))
  • aluminum foil

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 20 lasagna sheets
  • 100 grams parmesan, grated
  • 50 grams cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 brokkoli
  • 200 grams baby spinach
  • 2 leeks
  • 180 grams green olives
  • 200 milliliters vegetable stock
  • 1 bunch basil
  • 2 shallots
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • salt & pepper to taste
BECHAMEL SAUCE
  • 70g butter
  • 70g flour
  • 1000 milliliters whole fat milk

Instructions

  1. Peel shallots, halve them, and slice thinly.
  2. Peel garlic cloves and either press or finely chop them.
  3. Halve the leek, wash, and cut into fine strips.
  4. Cut the broccoli florets, wash, and if necessary, chop into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Slice the olives.
  6. Cut the basil into fine strips.
  7. Grate the Parmesan and Cheddar cheese.
  8. Prepare the béchamel sauce. I used 70g (2.5 oz) butter, 70g (2.5 oz) flour, and 1 liter (4 cups)milk, since lasagna needs a more liquidy sauce to ensure the pasta sheets soften in the oven.
  9. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Cook the shallots until soft. Then add the leek and garlic. Mix well and cook until soft for a few minutes.
  10. Add broccoli, olives, and basil, then pour in the vegetable broth. Cover and let it cook for 5-10 minutes, so the broccoli becomes tender but still has a bit of a bite.
  11. Remove the lid and add the spinach and lemon juice. Stir everything once and let the spinach wilt slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  12. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  13. Now it’s time to layer the lasagna. Start with two large ladles of sauce at the bottom of your baking dish. Spread the sauce evenly. Then add a layer of pasta sheets. Next, spread a portion of the vegetables evenly. Follow with a layer of finely grated Parmesan. Continue in the following order: pasta sheets, béchamel, vegetables, Parmesan until all the vegetables (including the liquid in the pot) are used up. Finish with a final layer of pasta sheets and spread the remaining béchamel sauce over them completely. Finally, sprinkle 50g of grated Cheddar on top.
  14. Here’s the entire sequence more efficiently: Sauce, pasta sheets, vegetables, Parmesan, pasta sheets, sauce, vegetables, Parmesan, pasta sheets, sauce, vegetables, Parmesan, pasta sheets, sauce, Cheddar.
  15. Cover the dish with a layer of aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the cheese is crispy and golden brown. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes, then enjoy.

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • cutting board
  • small pot
  • medium-sized pot
  • wooden spoon
  • whisk
  • grater
  • strainer
  • pouring jug

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
INFUSED MILK
  • 700 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 1 white onion
  • 3-4 parsley stems
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp black pepper corns
BÉCHAMEL SAUCE
  • 70 grams butter
  • 70 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/8 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Peel the onion and cut it in half.
  2. Peel the garlic clove and cut it into quarters.
  3. In a small pot, bring the milk to a simmer with the onion halves, parsley, bay leaf, and peppercorns over medium heat. Lower the temperature and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  4. After 10 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for about 60-90 minutes to infuse.
  5. Place a strainer over a measuring cup and pour the milk through it. Discard the solids. Set the strained milk aside.
  6. In a medium-sized pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the quartered garlic clove and let it sizzle in the butter briefly, then remove it.
  7. Add all the flour to the melted butter and stir quickly with a wooden spoon until smooth. The mixture should resemble a paste. Take the pot off the heat and whisk in the first 100ml (1/2 cup) of milk until smoothly combined. Return the pot to the stove and bring to a brief boil while stirring constantly – this will happen quickly. Remove from the heat again and add the next 100ml (1/2 cup) of milk. Stir well, return to the heat, and let it come to a boil again. Continue this process with the remaining milk, adding 100ml (1/2 cup) at a time: remove from heat, add milk, stir, return to heat, bring to boil, and repeat.
  8. After about 25 minutes, the sauce should be similar in consistency to melted cheese and you shouldn’t taste the flour anymore. Now, take the sauce off the heat and season it. Grate in some fresh nutmeg and add 3/8 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper.
