PORTUGUESE LASAGNA
This recipe gets its Portuguese twist from milho (cornmeal), which is used on the Madeira Islands off Portugal in place of a starch. H. Vern Pereira says he used to eat it topped with a meat sauce. He experimented to turn that combination into lasagna, arriving at this tasty version. From Cooking Club of America.
