Greek Lasagna with Lamb, Fennel and Chard (Gluten-Free)

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 1/2 pound ground lamb
  • Sea salt
  • 1 medium fennel bulb, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch Swiss chard, thick stems removed and thinly sliced
  • 16 ounces marinara sauce
  • 9 ounces gluten-free lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions (see note)
  • 3/4 cup full fat Greek yogurt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Brown the lamb over high heat, breaking it into small pieces with your spatula, until nicely browned, about 7 minutes. Season the meat lightly with salt and transfer to a bowl.
  • Add the fennel and shallot to the pan, along with a tablespoon of olive oil if it seems dry (the lamb, depending on how lean it is, should leave behind enough fat to grease the pan). Sauté the vegetables over medium-high heat until soft and just beginning to brown, 5 minutes. Stir in the chard and season generously with salt. Continue cooking until the greens are very wilted, another 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Arrange your first layer of noodles on top, making sure they overlap slightly. Slather the noodles with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. Top with half the lamb and chard mixture, followed by 1/2 cup sauce. Repeat the layers.
  • Finish the lasagna with a final layer of noodles, Greek yogurt, and marinara sauce, swirling it with your spoon so they mix slightly.
  • Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and the top of the lasagna is beginning to brown.
  • Allow the lasagna to rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into slabs and serving.
