Ingredients

2 medium onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, chopped

3 tbsp olive oil

1 chicken breast, finelly minced

Half a spanish chorizo (or your favorite), finelly minced

1 chayote, chopped

1 small can of tomatoes (plus juice), chopped

2 hands full fresh spinach, chopped

1 hand full fresh beetroot leaves, chopped

1 tsp each: basel and oregano

salt and pepper to taste

12 uncooked lasagna sheets

2 cups bechamel sauce

Parmesan cheese to your taste (I used about 3 tablespoons)

Directions

Fry the onions and garlic in olive oil for about 3 minutes.

Add the chicken breast and chorizo and let it cook for 5 minutes.

Toss in the tomatoes and juice and the chayote. Season with the herbs, salt and pepper and cook for 30 minutes in low heat.

Add the spinach and beetroot leaves and cook for 1 minute only. Take off the heat.

Assemble the lasagna by pouring some of the tomato juice from your pan in the bottom of the baking dish before you place the first lasagna sheets. This will prevent the lasagna to stick to your baking dish. Then place some of the stew over the pasta, then another layer of pasta. Over that another layer of stew and some spoons of bechamel and so on. Finish with pasta and pour the rest of bechamel over as well as parmesan cheese.

Put the baking dish into the oven for 30 minutes.

This sounds good but I have no idea what chayote is! Is chorizo a spicy sausage? And I don't know if we can get beetroot leaves here, I'll have to look. Also, what is bechamel sauce? I'm pathetic. Don't forget to add the recipe to the group! Or I can do it for you right now, if you don't mind. I'm adding it to my favorites list!
