Directions
- Rinse lentils & cook for about 25 min till soft. Drain, reserving the stock.
- Heat oil in a large skillet & saute/fry onions for 3 min. Add in carrots, garlic & mushrooms & continue to saute/fry for 10 min, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add in cooked lentils, tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs & soy sauce. Add in a little of the reserved stock if mix is too dry. Cover & cook for 20 min to ensure which the flavours are well blended.
- Meanwhile cook sufficient lasagna strips to make 3 layers. Cook only until al dente.
- BECHAMEL SAUCE: Combine the water, cashews, salt, pepper & nutmeg in the blender & blend until smooth. Make the roux by heating the oil in a pot & stirring in the flour when warm. Slowly add in the cashew lowfat milk, add in the bay leaf & bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. When boiling, reduce heat to very low & simmer for about 1 minute or possibly till the sauce starts to thicken. Set aside.
- Oil a casserole dish. Put a layer of lasagna in the bottom & layer with the lentil mix followed by the bechamel sauce. Repeat, ending with a layer of bechamel. Top with shredded soy cheese if you like. Bake at 350F for 35 min. Let stand for 10 min before serving.
