1 In a bowl mix the sausagemeat, sage, 1/4 chopped red onion and season.
Brush the inside of a small cooking ring with water and fill with some of
the sausagemeat mixture to make a 'burger'. Repeat with the remaining
mixture.

2 Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan. Add the burgers and cook for about
6-8 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

3 Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small pan. Add 1/4 chopped red onion and cook
gently for a few minutes until softened. Chop 1 courgette and add to the
pan with the tomatoes.

4 Season and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until tender. Add the double cream
and chopped mixed herbs and season.

5 Chop 3 walnuts and place in a bowl. Coarsely grate the remaining
courgettes and add to the walnuts with the remaining onion. Mix and season.

6 Whisk together 1 tbsp vinegar from the pickled walnuts, a pinch of caster
sugar, a pinch of mustard powder and 3 tbsp olive oil. Pour the dressing
over the vegetables and toss to coat. Cook the lasagne sheets according to
the packet instructions. Then drain.

7 Fill a deep pan one third full with vegetable oil and heat. Add the whole
sage leaves and deep fry until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.

8 Pour a little of the sauce into the centre of a plate, arrange a sheet of
lasagne on top and add a burger.

9 Repeat the layers and finish with a sheet of lasagne. Garnish with the
deep fried sage leaves and remaining walnuts. Serve the courgette and onion
salad in a small bowl.
