line:79.33% size:45% cheese, tacos, and it's true, we love meat, 04:14.700 --> 04:18.033 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:72.5% cheese and tacos, but we have a universe of possibilities 04:18.100 --> 04:23.100 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% when it comes to veggie side dishes and fillings. 04:23.166 --> 04:26.766 align:start position:40% line:79.33% size:22.5% I'll chop 2 garlic cloves. 04:26.833 --> 04:29.766 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:47.5% Lasagne is always a crowdpleaser in my house, 04:29.833 --> 04:34.100 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% and I mean everywhere I go, and I think it just speaks 04:34.166 --> 04:38.466 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% about a lot of people coming together to eat lasagne, 04:38.533 --> 04:42.300 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% because lasagne is always big and meant to share, 04:42.366 --> 04:47.633 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% and when you make it Mexicana, it says even more things. 04:47.700 --> 04:54.300 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:77.5% The next thing I'll add is half a pound of sliced mushrooms. 04:54.366 --> 04:58.166 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% Mushrooms usually scream for a lot more salt than other 04:58.233 --> 05:01.500 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% vegetables because they're so watery and spongey, 05:01.566 --> 05:04.300 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:32.5% so I'm adding 1 teaspoon of salt, 05:04.366 --> 05:07.366 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% some freshly ground black pepper. 05:07.433 --> 05:09.500 align:start position:40% line:79.33% size:22.5% I want to quickly sear 05:09.566 --> 05:12.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% before they start letting out their juices. 05:12.700 --> 05:16.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% It's very easy to just make them bland. 05:16.166 --> 05:19.366 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% You have to help the mushrooms shine, 05:19.433 --> 05:21.933 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:27.5% and I think browning really does it, 05:22.000 --> 05:24.466 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:25% and butter definitely helps. 05:24.533 --> 05:28.100 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% I have here 1 pound of baby spinach that 05:28.166 --> 05:31.700 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% I just blanched in hot boiling water. 05:31.766 --> 05:35.733 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% You have to make sure you really strain the spinach 05:35.800 --> 05:38.666 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% because I don't want a soggy lasagne. 05:38.733 --> 05:41.366 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:65% Yes, the lasagne will have fillings and sauce and 05:41.433 --> 05:44.866 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:57.5% it's supposed to be wet inside and crispy on top, 05:44.933 --> 05:49.766 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:65% but it has to be the right kind of sauce and moisture. 05:49.833 --> 05:53.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% I don't want it to be soaked in spinach liquid, 05:53.433 --> 05:56.833 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% so I'm pressing as much as I can, 05:56.900 --> 05:59.400 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:52.5% and you have to press a lot with the spinach, 05:59.466 --> 06:03.833 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:60% and you can see how much liquid is still coming out. 06:06.000 --> 06:07.866 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:40% And I'm watching my veggies here - 06:07.933 --> 06:09.900 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:42.5% oh,

eggs, 09:43.066 --> 09:46.266 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:32.5% and now we'll make the next layer, 09:46.333 --> 09:50.666 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% and the next layer is gonna have more of my favorite 09:50.733 --> 09:52.366 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% Mexican ingredients. 09:52.433 --> 09:58.500 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% It's going to have zucchini, corn and poblano peppers. 09:58.566 --> 10:01.933 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% I don't want soggy, wilted zucchini, 10:02.000 --> 10:05.166 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% that has no room in my lasagne, nor yours. 10:05.233 --> 10:07.500 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% When I cut into the zucchini, 10:07.566 --> 10:09.933 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% you can see all the water that's coming out. 10:10.000 --> 10:12.700 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% I mean, look at all the drops! 10:12.766 --> 10:17.400 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% As I slice it, I'll add 2 tablespoons of olive oil 10:17.466 --> 10:21.466 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:37.5% in here because I want it to start heating. 10:21.533 --> 10:24.433 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:27.5% So we'll do 2 zucchinis, 10:24.500 --> 10:29.266 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:50% and then season them with salt and pepper. 10:29.333 --> 10:33.466 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:67.5% When you sear the zucchini, you are making it lock 10:33.533 --> 10:37.800 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% whatever moisture is gonna stay inside. 10:41.200 --> 10:44.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:42.5% We just want them to brown quickly 10:44.166 --> 10:46.466 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:30% on one side, then the other. 10:46.533 --> 10:49.700 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:25% They brown really nicely. 10:49.766 --> 10:55.300 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:80% So yes, you could grab all these ingredients and blanch them, 10:55.366 --> 10:59.733 align:start position:12.5% line:79.33% size:75% and throw them in the lasagne, but then what's the point? 10:59.800 --> 11:01.433 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:27.5% You need to make sure everything 11:01.500 --> 11:04.566 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% you add in there is irresistible. 11:08.533 --> 11:14.666 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% So let me add some more oil and butter to the pan. 11:17.433 --> 11:19.600 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:27.5% So for this lasagne layer, 11:19.666 --> 11:23.933 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:52.5% I'll cook some onions with poblano and corn. 11:24.000 --> 11:27.200 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:20% We'll do 1.5 white onions. 11:27.266 --> 11:29.466 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:40% It may seem like a lot of onion to you, 11:29.533 --> 11:32.133 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:50% but it's not because it's gonna wilt. 11:32.200 --> 11:35.066 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:35% You don't want stingy, thin fillings, 11:35.133 --> 11:39.166 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:40% you want chubby, substantial fillings. 11:39.233 --> 11:42.366 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:50% I'm adding 4 poblano chiles that I've roasted, 11:42.433 --> 11:44.666 align:start position:37.5% line:79.33% size:25% peeled and thinly sliced. 11:44.733 --> 11:47.366 align:start position:40% line:79.33% size:20% I'll add 1 teaspoon of salt. 11:47.433 --> 11:50.600 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:55% This is such a classic Mexican combination, 11:50.666 --> 11:52.633 align:start position:32.5% line:79.33% size:30% it's used in so many ways. 11:52.700 --> 11:54.166 align:start position:25% line:84.67% size:50% If you added cheese, 11:54.233 --> 11:57.333 align:start position:22.5% line:79.33% size:57.5% you could have the most spectacular quesadillas. 11:57.400 --> 12:04.300 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% If you threw in some shrimp, chicken or beef tips, fajitas. 12:04.366 --> 12:07.866 align:start position:25% line:79.33% size:45% And the last thing I'll add here is some corn. 12:07.933 --> 12:12.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:47.5% Just gonna shave my kernels off this corn. 12:13.033 --> 12:17.300 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% I'll cook this for, like, 10 seconds because I don't want 12:17.366 --> 12:21.733 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:62.5% to overcook the corn, and I still want it to be crunchy. 12:21.800 --> 12:24.766 align:start position:17.5% line:79.33% size:62.5% I have everything I need, my fillings and sauce, 12:24.833 --> 12:28.566 align:start position:15% line:79.33% size:70% I'm just gonna cook my pasta and I'll be ready to build. 12:34.066 --> 12:36.300 align:start position:10% line:10% size:60% >> Pati: The inspiration for this lasagne, 12:36.366 --> 12:38.900 align:start position:10% line:10% size:47.5% a fusion of Mexican and Italian cuisines, 12:38.966 --> 12:41.533 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:27.5% comes from  an unlikely

13:17.566 --> 13:19.533 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% because everything seemed new. 13:19.600 --> 13:21.800 align:start position:30% line:79.33% size:35% When I started working in restaurants, 13:21.866 --> 13:25.600 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% I knew it was more than they said it was. 13:25.666 --> 13:29.233 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% >>

line:79.33% size:55% is always better than  just talking about it, 14:36.666 --> 14:41.666 align:start position:10% line:79.33% size:77.5% she's taking me to the home of  one of her very good friends.
