Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (born 29 October 1938) is the current President of Liberia. She served as Minister of Finance under President William Tolbert from 1979 until the 1980 coup d'état, after which she left Liberia and held senior positions at various financial institutions. She placed a distant second in the 1997 presidential election. Later, she was elected President in the 2005 presidential election and took office on 16 January 2006.

Often referred to as the "Iron Lady", Sirleaf is Africa's first elected female head of state.

Today we were ask to put the recipe of our favorite winter dish and I chose lasagna alla Siciliana her is the recipe:

Lasagna alla Siciliana

INGREDIENTS (for 8 people):
1 / 2 Onion
200 g of Minced meat of veal
200 g of Peas
1,5 L of Tomato sauce
4 Round Eggplants
200 g of Sweet Pecorino cheese
200 g of ham
150 g of Parmesan
4 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil for fry the eggplants

INGREDIENTS FOR LASAGNA PASTA
400 g of Flour
4 Eggs
Salt

PREPARATION TIME: 1 hour

COOKING TIME: 30 minutes

WINE: Santa Margherita di Belice bianco Doc (White Wine)

PREPARATION
Start with the preparation of the lasagna pasta: put in a bowl the flour, a pinch of salt and the eggs.


Mix all the ingredients and knead the dough until it becomes homogeneous. Let the dough stand for about 20 – 30 minutes so it becomes more soft. After this time start to roll out the dough, you can do this with the help of a rolling pin or more easily with the help of a pasta machine. Here I use the pasta machine.


Start roll out the dough from the biggest thickness of the machine then little by little reduce it until you obtain a pastry of about 2 – 3 mm of thickness.


Cut the pastry in rectangular pieces with about dimension of 15 cm x 10 cm.

Now start with the preparation of the sauce for lasagna: preheat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan, cut the onion in slices and let them cook for 3 – 5 minutes in the hot oil to make it tasteful.

When the onion becomes golden remove it from the oil and add the minced meat of veal. Let it cook for 5 - 8 minutes until it becomes slightly golden,then add fresh peas and continue the cooking for other 5 – 8 minutes.

Now add the tomato sauce and let the all sauce cook for about 30 – 40 minutes.


In the meantime prepare the other ingredients: eggplants, ham and cheese.
Cut the eggplants in slices and fry them in hot extra virgin olive oil until they become slightly golden.


When they are cooked put them in a dish covered with kitchen paper in order to remove the excess of oil.
Cut the ham in slices and the cheese in small cubes.
Now you can prepare the lasagna: cover the bottom of a rectangular baking pan with the sauce of meat and peas, put over it lasagna, pour on it the sauce, make a layer with the fried eggplants, another with the slices of ham and the cubes of cheese and sprinkle with some parmesan, re-put another layer of lasagna pasta and continue in this way until the pan in full.

Bake at 180°C and cook for about 30 minutes until the surface becomes golden.
Serve hot.
This is the result:

The Toe Bone and the Tooth was written by Martin Prechtel.
He also wrote the books "Long Life" and "Honey in the Heart".

I think that he wrote this story because he was in love and was talking about how her family didn't let him marry her and he came up with this story about his life but instead of telling what really happened.
