Lasagne Day

Hello Everyone,

When you open up your refrigerator only see mushrooms, spinach, two avocados, one tomato, a half of red bell pepper and a large zucchini in the refrigerator.
I found this nice Lasagne recipe from the "Raw Food Made Easy" book by Jennifer Cornbleet.


LASAGNE

1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon tamari
1/2 zucchini, peeled
2 cups spinach leaves, tightly packed
1/2 cup Marinara sauce
1/2 avocado, sliced

Place the mushroom, olive oil and tamari in a mixing bowl and toss well. Marinate for 10 minutes. Then drain off any excess liquid.
Thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise into long, wide noodles using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Place the spinach in a food processor fitted with the S blade and pulse or process until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Coat the bottom of a small square container with 2 tablespoons of the Marinara Sauce and arrange a third of the zucchini noodles in a layer over it. Top with 2 tablespoons of the Marinara Sauce and half of the marinated mushrooms. Press the mushrooms with a rubber spatula. Add a layer of half of the avocado. Top with half of the spinach and press with the rubber spatula. Repeat this layering process. A third of the zucchini and 2 tablespoons of the Marinated Sauce should remain . Layer the zucchini on top and cover with the Marinara.
Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Lasagne will keep for two days.

MARINARA SAUCE

1 ripe tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked or oil-packed
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic (1 clove)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash black pepper (optional)
Dash cayenne

Place all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with the S blade and process until smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Marinara Sauce will keep for three days.
Enjoy.

See the layering process below.




This was the first layer. Another layer will go on top. This will take one night for the vegetables to marinate into a soft texture. This is the third time I've made this dish. The zucchini will cut like a noodle and the avocado takes the place of cheese.







I found this lovely hand-crocheted jacket at flea market. Best bargain to fine a piece that is lined and warm. I'm still trying to master "the loop and hook and another loop is pulled through this one" technique. I'm teaching myself how to crochet from a book. Eventually, I will register for a class. Hats and scarfs are all I can make.
