Re: [Paddlewise] Great Paddlewise Cookbook Contest

Niels,
Good idea, I'll bite...

Umm let's see... For ease of preparation, and tremendous potential to
please, it's hard to beat:

Orgasmic Dutch Oven Veggie Lasagna
----------------------------------
12" aluminum dutch oven (or iron for the masochists)
2 lbs ricotta cheese
.5 lb feta
1 lb lasagna noodles (they do not have to be pre-cooked in this method!)
2 lbs yummy marinara sauce (I recommend trader joes' tuscany style)
.5 lb portabella mushrooms
1 lb red bell pepper
1 red onion
1 bunch spinach
1 lb kalamata black olives
1 lb artichoke hearts
several cloves of garlic

about 35 briquets of charcoal

Preparation is mind bogglingly simple.
- Slice peppers, mushrooms, onions, garlic
- cumble feta
- Open all cans
- get ready to rumble... er, layer

Now it's just a matter of creating layers of food in the DO.
1st, put down a thin layer of sauce and then noodles. 
2nd spread layer cheese on top of noodles, and then more sauce
3rd layer on all veggies
4th repeat above, starting with the noodles

Usually, I get 3 layers into a regular depth DO

Put ~10 coals underneath, ~25 on top, and wait one hour
Feeds 6-8

It is a little bit of work, but it's really not that bad. Especially
considering how difficult it would be to make a traditional style lasagna.
Also, it never fails to please. Then, after its gone (it ALWAYS
disappears), bake brownies in the DO for dessert.

Cheers,
kevin

ps, next recipe: khakilambe rolls
