Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
450 grams Pork sausagemeat
2 tablespoons Chopped fresh sage; plus a few whole
; fresh sage leaves
1 Red onion; finely chopped
5 tablespoons Olive oil
3 Courgettes
1 500 gram car creamed tomatoes
4 tablespoons Double cream
2 tablespoons Chopped fresh mixed herbs - basil; chives and parsley
1 390 gram jar pickled walnuts
1 pinch Caster sugar
1 pinch Mustard powder
250 grams Fresh lasagne
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Salt and pepper

Directions

1 In a bowl mix the sausagemeat, sage, ¼ chopped red onion and season.

Brush the inside of a small cooking ring with water and fill with some of the sausagemeat mixture to make a 'burger'. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

2 Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan. Add the burgers and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

3 Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small pan. Add ¼ chopped red onion and cook gently for a few minutes until softened. Chop 1 courgette and add to the pan with the tomatoes.

4 Season and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until tender. Add the double cream and chopped mixed herbs and season.

5 Chop 3 walnuts and place in a bowl. Coarsely grate the remaining courgettes and add to the walnuts with the remaining onion. Mix and season.

6 Whisk together 1 tbsp vinegar from the pickled walnuts, a pinch of caster sugar, a pinch of mustard powder and 3 tbsp olive oil. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat. Cook the lasagne sheets according to the packet instructions. Then drain.

7 Fill a deep pan one third full with vegetable oil and heat. Add the whole sage leaves and deep fry until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.

8 Pour a little of the sauce into the centre of a plate, arrange a sheet of lasagne on top and add a burger.

9 Repeat the layers and finish with a sheet of lasagne. Garnish with the deep fried sage leaves and remaining walnuts. Serve the courgette and onion salad in a small bowl.
