I am here in Hyderabad... and I tremendously miss mixed grill lasagna and ice tea at cafe Churchill, Kolaba, Mumbai.....Presenting below, my version of mixed grill lasagna which I tried making yesterday...
Saute 3 large chopped onions in adequate amount of olive oil. Add chopped garlic and fry till the onions go translucent. Add 5 large chopped tomatoes and cook on a high flame. When tomatoes turn soft add salt, green chilli sauce, a little chilli tomato sauce, torn basil leaves (u can use 8-10 Tulsi leaves), and oregano. Cook till it acquires a thick consistency. Transfer in a large bowl and keep it aside for cooling down...
I used pasta instead of Lasagna, conchiglie, which is sea shell shaped... Boil it till it softens. Pasta needs to be a little raw coz it will subsequently cook in the sauce. Strain and keep aside.
Chop some sausages and salami and keep aside. In a bowl, mix grated mozzarella with sour cream/ cream and add salt and pepper to the mixture. Keep two hands full of grated Mozzarella aside.
Churn the tomato mixture which would cool down by now. In a baking dish, pour a quarter of the tomato mixture. Sprinkle two hand full of conchiglie and lay a layer of sausages and salami.... put 3-4 dollops of cream and cheese mixture. Repeat the layers till your ingredients are exhausted. On the top sprinkle a layer of Mozzarella... Dump this into the oven for a good 25 minutes at appx 200 fht.
Aftre 25 minutes your mixed grill pasta is ready oozing with oodles of cheese!!!
Go ahead and dig into sinful pleasure! :)
