We just made this delicious Raw Lasagna as one of the dishes for a recent Nutrition 101 Session.
It was definitely a hit, everyone LOVED it! After posting a picture on Facebook, we’ve had numerous requests for the recipe. So, here you go. Enjoy!
Nut Cheese
2 cups macadamias, soaked 4 hours
1 cup pine nuts
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 yellow pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup water as needed
- Process all ingredients together adding as little of the water as possible until a fluffy consistency is achieved.
Walnut Meat Layer
1/2 cup walnuts, soaked 1 hour or more
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked for 1 hour or more
1 tbsp dark/brown miso
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp dried sage
1 tbsp tamari
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
- Grind all ingredients in a food processor, leaving the mixture slightly chunky.
Tomato Sauce
1 1/2 cups sun-dried tomatoes, soaked 2 hours or more
2 soft dates
2 cups tomato, seeded and chopped
1 tbsp dried oregano
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
- Process in a food processor until smooth.
Green Pesto
2 cups tightly packed basil leaves
3/4 cup pine nuts or walnuts
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
- Process all ingredients, leaving plenty of chunkiness!
Spinach Layer
6 cups torn spinach
5 tbsp dried oregano
3 tbsp olive oil
Pinch of salt
- Place all ingredients in a bowl to marinade and wilt for 1 hour or longer, putting the covered bowl in a dehydrator will help this process but it’s not essential.
Zucchini Layers
5 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4″ thick lengthwise strips and marinated in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 3 tablespoons olive oil for 10 minutes.
Pinch of black pepper.
Directions:
- Prepare each of the ingredients individually and set aside.
- Line the base of your dish with a layer of the zucchini strips that slightly overlap.
- On top of this put down a layer of the walnut meat, then the cheese, then tomato sauce and finally the pesto on top.
- Finish this with another layer of slightly overlapping zucchini strips.
- Repeat step 2 but, before adding the final layer of zucchini, take your wilted spinach and create an additional layer with that.
- Place the whole dish in the fridge for several hours to firm it all up slightly which will make it easier to cut into portions.
- Garnish individual portions with black pepper and a sprig of basil.
- Serves 9 large portions.
