Cheese is known for its calcium content, which is essential for healthy bones, hair, teeth and nails. Its greatest amount is found in the popular English Cheddar cheese, 100 grams of which provide the human body with the daily requirement for calcium.
Instructions
Step 1
Cheddar got its name from the English village of Cheddar, where it was first produced. This cheese has a yellowish (or ivory) plastic structure, which is sometimes tinted with natural dyes during the production process. Cheddar, made from whole pasteurized or raw milk, has a nutty, slightly pungent and sour taste.
Step 2
Nutritionists consider this cheese to be the healthiest cheese because it contains a high concentration of important nutrients - especially calcium and protein. In addition, cheddar significantly reduces the risk of tooth decay by stimulating the production of fresh saliva, which neutralizes tooth-damaging acid. It also contains a minimum amount of lactose, so that people with intolerance to this substance can safely use it. It is advisable to include cheddar in your daily diet - it is useful in any form, be it cheese soup or cheese sauce. However, it is not recommended for people who suffer from headaches, as it contains tyramine, which constricts blood vessels.
Step 3
One of the more popular cheddar dishes is lasagna. To prepare it, you will need 125 g of cheddar, 750 g of ground beef, 1 onion, 2 stalks of celery, 400 g of canned tomatoes, 3 tablespoons of flour, 375 g of ready-made dry lasagna sheets, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. You also need to take 1 tablespoon of Provencal herbs, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 60 g of butter and 750 ml of milk.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, and fry the minced meat in olive oil in a large skillet. After frying in the remaining oil, fry with finely chopped onions and celery, then put the minced meat in a pan, add pasta, tomatoes, sugar and herbs, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. In butter, melted over low heat, you need to add flour and fry it for a minute, after which the mixture is removed from the heat and gradually poured with milk. Then it must be returned to the stove, boiled, allowed to thicken and cook for another 2 minutes. Put 1/3 of the meat sauce in a greased fireproof saucepan, place one layer of lasagna sheets on top, pour 1/3 of the flour and butter sauce over it, and repeat the previous manipulations twice, sprinkling the top of the lasagna with grated cheddar. The dish is baked in the oven for 25 minutes until golden brown.
