Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 150g streaky bacon, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 500g beef mince
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 300ml red wine
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2kg waxy potatoes
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Italian herbs
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • Grated mozzarella
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
  2. Begin by making the lasagna ragu. Heat the oil in a large sautee pan and fry the bacon until crisp.
  3. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for around half a minute until smelling nice and aromatic.
  4. Add the minced beef and break up with a wooden spoon in the pan, browning as you go. Add the tomatoes, wine, stock and tomato puree, then the salt and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover and cook gently, stirring every now and then, for roughly an hour and a half, until soft and delicious. Set aside and cool.
  5. Add the potatoes to a large pan of salted water and bring to the boil. When they are easily pierced with a knife set them aside to cool slightly before grating into a big bowl.
  6. Add flour, oregano and seasoning and thoroughly mix. The mixture should feel sticky but not too wet.
  7. Press half into a medium lined tray and add roughly 8 squares of the ragu, then sprinkle with mozzarella. Carefully press the other half of the grated potato mixture on top and chill.
  8. Cut into squares and place on a baking sheet. Bake until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
