Instructions
- now what.
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius.
- Place the eggplant and sweet potato on a lined baking tray.
- Season with salt and place into the oven for 10 minutes and set aside.
- For the ‘cheese’ sauce, cut the cauliflower into florets and microwave for 12 minutes, or until a fork can easily poke the stalks of the florets.
- Let’s start the meat sauce.
- Heat the coconut oil in a pan on high.
- Add the onion, garlic and bacon and cook until the onion is soft.
- Add the beef and stir until the beef browns.
- Add the mushrooms and herbs and keep stirring.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes and season with salt n pepper.
- Once the sauce starts to bubble, turn the heat down and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, back to the ‘cheese’ sauce.
- With a stick blender, puree the cauliflower.
- Add the garlic, almond milk and salt n pepper and stick blend until super smooth.
- Now to put it all together!
- Start by lining the base of a casserole dish with the sweet potato, make sure they overlap a little.
- Add half the meat mixture and spread out over the sweet potatoes evenly.
- Spoon on a third of the ‘cheese’ sauce evenly.
- Layer the eggplant on top, again overlapping the pieces a little.
- Repeat with a layer of meat and a layer of ‘cheese’ sauce.
- End with a top layer of zucchini as well as the rest of the ‘cheese’ sauce.
- Sprinkle rosemary and oregano to garnish.
- Place the lasagne into the oven uncovered for 45 minutes.
- Once cooked, let sit for 10 minutes before serving up.
