Clean Lasagna

Clean Lasagna

500gm Lean Mince (we used turkey mince)
1 x large Brown Onion, chopped finely
1.5tsp Organic Minced Garlic
1-2 teaspoons Dried Italian Herbs
1 x tin Organic Whole Tomatoes
2 x tablespoons Organic Tomato Paste
1-2 teaspoons Tabasco Sauce (depending on what heat you would like)

1/2 large Eggplant, sliced thinly and char grilled
1 x head of Cauliflower, cut into florets
4 x cloves Garlic
1-2 tablespoons Grape seed Oil
1/2 large Sweet Potato
1-2 handfuls Baby Spinach Leaves
6 x Basil Leaves, torn into small pieces
2 tablespoons Ricotta Cheese

Preheat oven to 180' Celsius.
Place cauliflower pieces on an oven tray with the cloves of garlic and some of the Grape seed oil and place in the oven.
Slice the sweet potato in to thin slices and place on another oven tray and cook in the oven for approximately 5mins and then turn and cook on the other side for 5mins. Remove and set aside.

In a saucepan, Place onion and garlic and a small amount of the Grape seed oil. Saute and add mince and cook until brown. Add dried herbs and stir.
Add tomatoes, tomato paste and Tabasco (if using) and cook down so not too runny. Set aside.

Once cauliflower and garlic is cooked (should be softie), remove from oven and blend into a paste with a stick mixer. Set aside.

Take a baking dish and spread a small amount of meat sauce on the base. Layer all your ingredients one by one until dish is full. (we layered meat, sweet potato, meat, eggplant, spinach, meat, torn basil leaves, remaining meat.)
Top with the cauliflower puree and dollops of ricotta cheese and sprinkle with some ground coriander.
Bake in oven for approx 20-25mins (or until brown on top) and serve alongside your favorite garden salad
