Goat City House Concert and G-F meal!

Last night some amazing folks graced our living room with their performances:





Amy Domingues, viola da gamba and voice
singing her 1600s ode to Tobacco while accompanying herself on this beautiful instrument.





Jozef van Wissem, lute
Jozef played at our house as the last date of an extensive US tour. He's flying home right now to the Netherlands on a three part flight itinerary, thanks to Delta airlines.
Before the concert, we ate this lovely spread of food:



The lasagna was a Goat City original recipe...

Goat City Spinach, Manchego and Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Lasagna

for the sauce:

6-9 red bell peppers, roasted whole in oven at 500 degrees for 20 mins or til blackened, then peeled and seeded when cool.

food process 1/2 c your favorite olives (I used sundried tom stuffed greens). add roasted red peppers and a mixture of sauteed and slightly carmelized shallots and garlic (about 4-5 cloves garlic and 1 lg shallot). add a can of Muir Glen fire roasted diced tomatoes and pulse til chunky/smooth. chop up 1/2 c parsley and stir in; set aside.

filling =
1 lg bag spinach, steamed and pureed in food processor, then dump out into a lg bowl and add: 1 pack of Chavrie garlic/herb chevre, grated lump of Manchego to taste, 2 T olive oil, salt and pepper to taste plus smashed 1/2 c toasted pine nuts (less if that's too much to your tastebuds).

I used Tinkyada brown rice lasagna noodles, 1 box.

to assemble:

ladle in 1/3 sauce in the bottom of your pan and spread. add 1/3 of your noodles. add half of the filling, 1/3 sauce, 1/3 noodles. add the rest of your filling, then top with noodles, then rest of sauce, then more grated manchego. I also grated pecorino romano on top. cover and bake at 375 for 30 mins.

Enjoy!!
