This blog is set up primarily for me to store recipes that I love and to help me track tweaks and improvements. Will be aimed to be low carb (but not exclusively) and as little processed food as possible. Currently I'm trying to take some of the processed food we like and remake it naturally.

Seafood Lasagna
Tomato sauce -
200g prawns
170g crab
1 large red onion
500g tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
100g black olives
8 mini gherkins
1 tablespoon of capers
balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon of tomato puree
White sauce -
1/3 pint of milk
200g mascarpone cheese (light)
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill
1/4 grated lemon zest
1 small red onion
Wakame as replacement for pasta - 2-3 layers thick.
Basically just cook these sauces seperately then assemble. Cover on top with very thinly sliced onion and paprika
Verdict -
Pretty damn good (and great the next day). Adjustments for next time - slightly less dill, bit more lemon.
Crab is a bit of a waste as overpowered - stick to prawns or maybe squid.
I blitzed the prawns, olives, capers and gherkins in food processor - bit too fine - next time just chop prawns.
Wakame works well but needs to be thicker - I wasted half a pack - should have put it all in and gone for 4-6 layers thick.
White sauce needs to be thicker - I'm going to try Xanthum gum as a thickener.
Next time would be good with parmesan cheese on top.
The numbers -
Assuming you eat about 1/4 this per portion, this is roughly about 250 calories and 10g carbohydrates
