Preparation of meat and béchamel lasagna

  1. Chop the onion, carrot and garlic. You can help yourself with a chop-chop cutter, you'll save time!
  2. Heat the olive oil in a casserole or in a cocotte and add the chopped vegetables. Cook them for a few minutes, stirring continuously.
  3. Add the meat, mixing everything well, and cook for another 10 minutes.
  4. Season well before adding the tomato sauce. We continue stirring and make sure that everything is well linked.
  5. Pour in the hot chicken broth (we will have previously heated it in the microwave or in a saucepan).
  6. Prepare the lasagna sheets as indicated on the package (we will leave them in water if we have quick lasagna, or we will put them in boiling water with salt if we have dry/traditional lasagna sheets, in each case for the time indicated on the package) .
  7. Once we have the lasagna sheets ready, and the filling prepared, we can proceed to assemble the lasagna: grease the lasagna tray with a little oil and pour a little bechamel sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of lasagna sheets and pour a little of the meat on top; then we spread a little bechamel sauce over the meat and we have a second layer of lasagna pasta, we put meat and bechamel again... We will proceed like this until we run out of ingredients. We finish with a little bechamel sauce and sprinkle grated Emmental cheese on top.
  8. We put the tray in the oven (preheated to 180º C) and leave it for about 40 minutes.

Ready to serve. Enjoy!

Grades

If you want to prepare the béchamel at home, you will need: 1 liter of milk, 50g of butter, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 60g of wheat flour, nutmeg and salt

Steps to prepare the bechamel: We put a saucepan to heat the milk. In the meantime, in another saucepan, melt the butter over low heat together with the oil. When it is melted, add the sifted flour and let it cook - it is important that the flour take on color, but that it does not burn. ​We stir well with the help of a wooden spoon or shovel , or it helps me a lot in this preparation to use manual rods (not to beat, but to stir). When the milk is boiling, pour it over the flour mixture and remove from heat. We constantly remove until the lumps that form disappear. We warm up for about 5 minutes without stopping to move. Finally, we add a teaspoon or pinch of salt and nutmeg.
