March (otherwise known as December) Review - David and Pam Gammie

Donna's Vegetarian Lasagna

(Dad)
OK Jo’s cooking, look out!

Stay out of the kitchen, or stay in the kitchen? This is the question. Fathers can tend to take over so maybe stay out until asked is the best policy.

Now for the real review. Jo began by chopping things up all over the place and, as there was no blood, things were obviously going well.

The capsicum got the blow torch treatment and the béchamel looked like a bit of a sloppy roux.

A review of the cook’s technique is probably not what is required here.

The lasagne was even better than I expected even though I love egg plant and pumpkin - and who doesn’t like capsicum?

The surprise was the combined taste of the ingredients. The capsicum, with skin removed, was really sweet and a bit of a surprise. The cheese was by no means overpowering and the lasagne sheets were tender and seemed to just blend in with the whole.

So, the whole dish was delicious. There was not one moment where I thought, “Where is the meat?”

Do I want the recipe? Will I cook it? Absolutely, I do, I will.

Did I eat any salad with it? No way, why would a discerning diner bother with salad when there is more of Donna’s Vegetarian Lasagne to eat.

Sorry Donna I couldn’t write Lasagna.

I never choose to eat Vegetarian, in fact I avoid it and never even read the vegetarian part of a menu. But this was delicious. The capsicum and pumpkin were really nice. We now have it frozen in meal-size portions and I know I will love having it for lunch when I’m back at work next year.

Thank you lovely Jo – and the salad was delicious too.
