Beef Lasagna...

First Time Paleo Lasagna For Me....

This Was Amazing!  

Ingredients...

Pre Heat Oven to 200c

Lasagna Beef Sauce Ingredients...

500gm Lean Beef Mince

1x 400gm Organic Tin Tomato

3/4 Cup Tomato Paste

1 Red Onion

15 Sundry-ed tomatoes (set 5 away to top your lasagna with) 

1 tbsp Fresh Rosemarry

1 tsp Celtic Sea Salt

1 tsp Ground Black Pepper

400gm Water

2 x Large leeks (for your "noodle sheets")

 

Not So White Sauce ingredients...

6 Cloves of garlic 

1/2 cup Macadamia Nuts

1 1/3 cups Warm Water

1 Avocado

1 Zucchini (grated) 

1 Packed cup of Baby Spinach

10 Large Basil Leaves

1 tsp Celtic Sea Salt

1 tsp Ground Black Pepper

1 tsp Ground Nutmeg

 Once mince is cooked add your Sun-dried tomatoes, Rosemary, Salt & Pepper, and Red Onion. Saute just slightly. Following by topping your meat with the Tin Tomato, Tomato Paste, and Water. Allow to simmer and reduce Slightly.

 Your ready meat sauce will be looking like this. Set aside.

 Add the Garlic, Avocado, Water, and Macadamia Nuts to a blender or food processor, and BLITZ until smooth. Should look like above.

 In a Large Mixing bowl add the remaining of your not so white sauce ingredients and Mix together.

 In your CLEANED sink. Fill With Boiled water from your kettle. Allow your Leeks to blanch for just 5 minutes (helps with the annoying curling)

 Step 1 & 3 of layering...

 I only made 4 layers (so half both your layer mixes). Starting with firstly laying down a layer of leeks as flat as possible (If they are still curling hold the leeks flat down with your hand, and pop some sauce on top) Top your 1st leek layer with your meat sauce. Should look like above.

Step 2 & 4 of layering... 

Following with another layer of leeks and half your "white sauce Mix". Following with another Meat layer and Finishing with "A not so white sauce layer".

 I topped mine before baking with my sliced up left over sundry-ed tomatoes. I baked this lasagna for 40minutes.

 This should feed 4-6 people.

This Was So Good.

Its Just starting to cool down slightly over here (by cool I mean like 23c haha) So we are enjoying some hot meals again.

I do hope you enjoy it. I just kinda wrote this recipe, and shot it as I went along. The end result was fantastic.

ENJOY

Remember people, forget what your Mama always told you, and ALWAYS play with your food!

Sauteed Apple, Cashew & Coconut Cream Parfait...

This was such a nice healthy Treat!

Ingredients...

Apple mix ingredients...

2x Granny smith apples

2 tbsp Flaked Almonds

1/4 Raisins

1/4 tsp Nutmeg

1 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Raw honey (optional, I didnt add I like mine a little tart)

3 tbsp Water

Cashew and Coconut Sweet Cream Ingredients...

3/4 cup fresh Coconut meat

1/2 cup Almond milk

1/4 cup Warm water 

1/2 cup Cashew nuts

2 tsp Raw honey

1 tbsp Chai seeds

 Apple Mix Ingredients...

 Slice your apples as desired.

Cashew and Coconut Cream Processes...

 

 1. I used my filleting knife to scrape the coconut meat out. Be very care full doing this. I'm used to knife work and these puppys can be a mission!

2. Place your coconut meat, cashews, almond milk, honey, chai seeds, and warm water in your blender or food processor and blend until white fluffy and creamy in look.

Mine came out looking like that!

Parfait layering process...

1. I lay down one layer of my cooled apple mix. With a long spoon I pushed it down firmly.

2. I next went with a layer (not as thick) of my "cream" mix

I carried on like this back and forth between steps 1 and 2 until my glass was full. I used a large glass and my mix made two. I would advise using medium sized wine glasses instead. This was very filling. You would get 3 in wine glasses. Like all my recipes, I tend to make them up as I go. So my only mistake in this one was. I made the serving too large. 

surprisingly filling!    

This is great as a healthy desert or even a Sunday Breakfast!
