This week I was invited to a friends for a homemade dinner, we both love to cook so we decided it was about time we cooked together. He chose our main course and I was responsible for our dessert.
This came to us making salmon lasagne and a tiramisu like dessert.
Since the lasagne needed to cook in the oven for about 25 minutes we decided to start of with it and making the dessert while the lasagne was in the oven.
Salmon Lasagne
Ingredients:
400 g fresh spinach (or 200 g frozen)
160 g salmon
400 g diced tomatoes
400 g cream cheese
300 ml vegetable stock
12 lasagne sheets
2 onions
3 tbsp grated cheese ( we definitely used more :D)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp dill
1 tsp thyme
salt, pepper and nutmeg
(Preheat oven to 200°C)
Peel and dice the onions. Wash spinach and chop it (if you use frozen spinach just defrost it). Wash your salmon, dry it and cut it in cubes.
Stew the onions with the olive oil and the spinach in a pan and deglaze with vegetable stock after 3-5 minutes. Add the salmon and diced tomatoes and spice with salt pepper and thyme.
Mix the cream cheese with dill and lemon juice and spice with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
As soon as that's done you can start to layer your lasagne into a baking dish (ca. 21x32 cm).
Start of with your salmon-spinach-mix, then lasagne sheets and then cream cheese. Repeat that and finish off with your cream cheese mix topping it with your graded cheese after that your lasagne is ready to go into the oven for about 25 minutes.
For the dessert you need:
250 g quark
100 g plain yoghurt
200g chocolate biscuits (or you can also use amaretti)
Maple syrup and caster sugar
And you need fruits. We had strawberries but you could also have it with peaches or raspberries whatever floats your boat :)
How much you need depends on how big the glasses are that you want to have your dessert in. But mainly I would say you need about a hand full of fruit each.
Mix the yoghurt with the quark and add as much sugar as you want depending on how sweet you want it. Chop your fruits and add a bit of maple syrup again this is something everyone likes differently. I love maple syrup so I tend to use quite a lot but not everyone is that fond of it so just try it till you like it.
Then blitz the biscuits in a blender.
EAT :D
It was delicious and we were so full we had to roll ourselves out of the kitchen :)
Both recipes are really easy to make and taste very nice.
The dish works quite well with a good white wine and although I don't usually drink alcohol it was enjoyable to have a glas with it.
All in all a felicitous evening that didn't lack a bit of silliness whilst cooking :)
Enjoy your weekend and maybe this dish :)
