In a blender, add onions, garlic, ginger, Brazil nuts, pointed sweet peppers, and tomato paste; blend until smooth.

Set the blended mixture aside after blending.

Rinse ground beef with vinegar and cool water, then add it to a pot with a little oil.

Brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Use a paper towel to absorb some excess oil from the browned beef.

Add the blended tomato mixture to the browned beef; rinse the blender with a little water and add that as well.

Add one finely chopped carrot to the pot.

Season the mixture with Jamaican red seasoning, salt, black pepper, and green seasoning; cover and simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes.

Prepare the white sauce by melting butter in a pan, then whisk in two spoons of plain flour until combined.

Gradually add whole milk to the flour mixture while whisking to avoid lumps; cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Season the white sauce with salt, pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg.

Grate mature cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese for layering.

In a baking dish, start layering with meat sauce, followed by lasagna sheets, more meat sauce, cheese, and white sauce; repeat until all ingredients are used, aiming for 4-5 layers.

Cover the baking dish and bake in the oven for 40 minutes.

Uncover the lasagna and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to achieve a golden color on top.

Let the lasagna cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into pieces.
