Organic Tomato\u00a0Sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prepare fillings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you like, you can prepare the fillings the day before and keep them in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble your lasagna.\u00a0 Seed the three sweet red peppers and place in a large roasting pan along with eggplant, garlic (whole) and sweet onion (outer layer peeled and cut in half.)\u00a0\u00a0 Roast at 425\u00b0 for about 1 hour, or until the eggplant is very soft and the other vegetables have taken on good color.<\/p>\n<p>Eggplant Hummus<br \/>\nCarefully split the hot eggplant in half and scoop out the pulp making sure to keep all of the liquid inside.\u00a0 Slice the bottom off of the roasted garlic and press each clove out and into your food processor along with the eggplant pulp, 2 cans of drained garbanzo beans and 1 TBL Tahini (you can substitute 1 TBL nut butter or omit).\u00a0 Process until mixture is very smooth.\u00a0 The consistency should be similar to a ricotta cheese filling in a traditional lasagna.<\/p>\n<p>Veggie Steak Filling<br \/>\nRinse steak strips under warm water in colander for just a minute or two (this removes some of the seasoning so that we can add our own unique flavors and it will permit the frozen strips to thaw partially to make cutting easier.)\u00a0 Or if you are using Butler Soy Curls, rehydrate 1 package in about 2 cups warm water.\u00a0 Transfer veggie meat to cutting board and slice into small pieces.\u00a0 Chop one sweet onion and saut\u00e9 with olive oil in fry pan along with veggie steak.\u00a0 When the onion begins to caramelize, add the fennel and continue to cook for another minute or two.<\/p>\n<p>Red Pepper Hummus<br \/>\nPlace the roasted red peppers and the sweet onion in the food processor along with 2 cans of drained garbanzo beans.\u00a0 Process until smooth.\u00a0 I find that most canned beans have ample salt, but you may want to add a pinch of salt at this stage after taste testing your hummus pur\u00e9es.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Assemble Lasagna<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prepare lasagna noodles according to package.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To assemble, place a thin coating of tomato sauce on the bottom of your lasagna pan and top with a single layer of noodles.\u00a0 Spoon all of the eggplant hummus on top of pasta and sprinkle just a scant amount of tomato sauce over top.\u00a0 Place the second layer of noodles down on top of the hummus and press gently to even out the filling.\u00a0 Spoon all of the steak strip filling into the pan and top with tomato sauce once again.\u00a0 Make sure you reserve a set of unbroken lasagna noodles for the top layer!\u00a0 Select another set of noodles for your next layer and cover with the red pepper hummus filling.\u00a0 Sprinkle with tomato sauce and lay the final layer of noodles on top of your filling, pressing down gently to make sure filling is well distributed.\u00a0 Spoon a final coating of tomato sauce atop lasagna.\u00a0 Cover with foil and bake in a 350\u00b0 oven for 45 minutes, remove foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes.\u00a0 Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A wonderful dish for a holiday meal or
