Directions

  1. 1

    Peel onion and garlic and cut into fine cubes. Heat the oil. Fry the minced meat for about 10 minutes while turning it. After 6 minutes add onion and garlic. Stir in tomato paste and dust with 1 tbsp. flour.

  2. 2

    Add 250 ml stock and 250 ml water, bring to the boil while stirring. Wash thyme, oregano and basil, shake dry and, except for a little garnish, pluck leaves from the stalks and chop.

  3. 3

    Season the sauce with herbs, salt, pepper and sugar. For the béchamel sauce, melt the fat in a saucepan, add 3 tbsp. flour and sauté. Deglaze with 250 ml broth and milk. Bring to the boil, simmer for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season with salt, pepper and 1 pinch of nutmeg. Wash, clean and slice the tomatoes. Grease an oven dish (approx. 17 x 28 cm). Spread some béchamel sauce thinly on the bottom of the dish.

  5. 5

    Place 3 lasagne plates on top. Spread half of the mince on top. Place 1/3 of the tomato slices on top, spread with béchamel sauce and cover with 3 lasagne sheets. Repeat the process and finish with a layer of lasagne sheets and the rest of the sauce.

  6. 6

    Spread the rest of the tomatoes on the lasagne. Grate the cheese and sprinkle over the lasagne. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 45 minutes until golden brown. Arrange in portions and garnish with the remaining herbs.
