Lenten lasagna

Method

1. 01

   Cut the large bulb in half. One half is finely cut, the other is cut with half rings. If you don’t have a large bulb, take 2 small bulbs.

2. 02

   Red sweet peppers wash, peel from seeds and cut finely.

3. 03

   Eggplant wash, peel and cut into small bars.

4. 04

   Cut the tomatoes in small slices.

5. 05

   Now we begin to directly prepare the filling for lean lasagna. On the pan, warm up 2-3 spoons of vegetable oil and lay out half of the onion sliced with semi-rings. Roast by stirring 3-4 minutes.

6. 06

   Add tomatoes, roast for another 3-4 minutes. At this stage, a very pleasant smell appears.

7. 07

   Next, add sweet peppers, eggplant and tomatoes. Smash and mix it up. Roast by stirring 3-4 minutes. Then cover the lid and extinguish 7-8 minutes. Turn off the gas, add 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic and mix. At the end, add basil and mix again. This is the finish of the preparation.

8. 08

   Now we will start making Bechamel sauce, according to the traditional recipe it is made from milk and butter, but since we have a lean version of lasagna, we will take the simplest ingredients. The first thing to do is to roast the onions in vegetable oil.

9. 09

   Add to the pan 3 tablespoons of flour and mix, roast literally 3 seconds.

10. 10

    Enter hot water into the pan (add water so that the sauce turns out to be consistency, like liquid sour cream) and cook on a small heat, stirring, 3 minutes so that lumps do not form in the sauce. Of course, the best option would be to use vegetable broth instead of water, but I didn’t have one.

    The final stage will be baking lasagna in the oven. The form for baking is lubricated with vegetable oil and lay out 2-3 sheets of lasagna. Do not be afraid to break them, they are like pasta, stick together during cooking.

12. 12

    Put half the stuffing out.

13. 13

    Then lay out another 1 layer of lasagna sheets, the second half of the filling and another 1 layer of sheets. Pour the bechamel sauce.

14. 14

    Baking lasagna in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees, about 1 hour.
