Hi Everyone,

Welcome back for another portion of veg!

As I have seen a lot of requests for vegan lasagna, I decided to make a delicious recipe and it will take you about 75 minutes to prepare it – and it can easily feed 5 hungry mouths 🙂

We will start with the ‘meat’ base and you will need the following ingredients:
– 100g of black beluga lentils
– 100g of red lentils (or 200g of any lentils that you have)
– 100g of soy mince
– 3 medium-sized onions
– 2 medium-sized carrots
– 1 can of chopped tomatoes
– 3 tsp of salt
– 2,5 tsp of pepper
– 2 tsp of chili flakes
– 2,5 tbsp of nutritional yeast
– 1 tbsp of maple syrup
– 1 tbsp of dried paprika
– 5 tbsp of milled chia seeds

Start off with cooking the lentils in cold water on medium heat – once boiling, cook for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, you can chop the onions and carrots in small pieces – also soak the soy mince for 5 minutes in some water and then try to squeeze as much water as possible out of it.

Preheat a pan on high heat with some oil and then saute the onions and carrots for 6-7 minutes.

Now, lower the heat to medium and add all the ingredients to it – stir it well and let it cook for another 5 minutes.

You are done with the base!

You will need the following vegetables:
– 250g of mushrooms
– 1 zucchini
– 1 eggplant
– 1 sweet pepper
– 3 medium-sized tomatoes

Chop all the vegetables: mushrooms & tomatoes in slices and the rest in little cubes. Keep the tomatoes on one side (as you will need them for the lasagna topping) and place the rest of the vegetables into a bowl, sprinkle with some salt, and mix it together.

Before you start off with putting the lasagna together you still need bechamel, and you will need the following for it:
– 100 ml of sunflower oil
– 125g of regular flour
– 700 ml of soy milk (or any other plant-based milk)
– 2 tsp of salt
– 2 tsp of pepper
– 2/3 tsp of nutmeg

Preheat the pan on high heat and add the oil first and then the flour – stir until combined and then lower down the heat to low and add the rest of the ingredients – it’s very important to stir continuously for about 4-5 minutes.

It’s time to get excited, as it’s time to put it all together!!

You will still need:
– 1 pack of lasagna sheets
– 1 pack of shredded vegan cheese

To start off, spread some bechamel on the bottom of the baking tray, and then you can lay down your first layer of lasagna sheets (so they won’t move).
Follow up with another layer of bechamel, then spread some vegetables and follow up with a layer (half of the mixture) of the ‘meat’ base.
Now you can fill up the sides of the lasagna with lasagna sheets and then put a new layer of sheets on top.
The second layer will consist of bechamel, cheese, vegetables, and then the rest of the ‘meat’ base.
Finish off with another layer of lasagna sheets, bechamel, cheese, and tomatoes on top!

Preheat the oven on FAN 180°C (360°F) – and then bake the lasagna for 45-50 minutes.

Once done, you are ready to serve it!

Cheers,

Vito
