The Godfather
Type of dish: Beef

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse: lasagna. From the BBQ. Because BBQ and lasagna is not perhaps the warmest friendship in the world, they would not send each other Christmas gift greetings, but they would not murder each other. So remember, great men are not born great, they grow great. In the end lasagna is everything. Lasagna is more than talent. It is more than government. It is almost the equal of family. Be careful, though. Cause when they come... they come at what you love."

Cooking time: 50 |

Preparation time: 30 |

Temperature: There are things that have to be done and you do them and you never talk about them. You don't try to justify them. They can't be justified. You just do them. Then you forget it. So chop up that red onion, garlic and parsley. Grab the mozzarella, tear it into pieces and grate the Parmesan until it begs for mercy. Mix the egg and ricotta in a bowl. And clean up the mess. Your enemies always get strong on what you leave behind. Cook the lasagna sheets according to the instructions on the packet.

What do you need?

Ricotta mixture - 1 egg - 500 gr ricotta Minced meat mixture - 225 gr Italian sausage (chipolata) - 300 gr minced beef - 1 red onion - 3 cloves garlic Tomato mixture - 2x 425 ml diced pomodori - 70 gr tomato puree - 150 ml chicken stock - 40 gr flat parsley - 2 teaspoons basil - 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seeds - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper - 9 lasagne sheets - 4x 125 gr mozzarella - 150 gr Parmesan cheese

Preparation method

I have learned more from a 100 °C BBQ, than in any classroom. So, fire it up! Cut the chipolata into small pieces and fry these together with the minced beef and onion for about 10 minutes in a frying pan. As soon as the meat starts to brown, add the garlic and fry for another 2 minutes or so. Drain the meat and keep the fat in a separate container. Add the diced pomodori, tomato puree, chicken stock, parsley, basil, fennel seeds, salt and pepper to the Dutch oven. Let the tomato mixture simmer for another half hour once it is boiling, stirring occasionally. Now I want you to arrange a meeting with the heads of the five families. Fire up the BBQ to 180 °C. Grease a large, preferably oblong baking dish with the fat from the minced meat. Start building the lasagne. First a layer of the tomato mixture on which you place 3 sheets of lasagne. On top of that, you put 1/3 of the minced meat mixture and 1/3 of the ricotta mixture. Then you put 1/3 of the mozzarella and 50 gr Parmesan cheese on top. Repeat this 2 more times. Bake the lasagne for approx. 30 minutes on the BBQ. Come here. You look terrible. I want you to eat. I want you to rest a while, and in a month from now, when the shit hits the fan, leave the gun and take the lasagna.
