Red Lentil Lasagna
------------------

1 large Onion, sliced finely
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 Red chilli, deseeded
2 stalks Celery, chopped *very* finely (because my wife hates it)
1/2 cup water
1 lb Broccoli
1 small Courgette/Zucchini
1/2 lb Mushroom
1 pint Vegetable Stock (Vecon and water)
1 cup Red lentils
1 can Tomatoes
2 tsps Oregano
2 tsps Basil
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/2 cup Corn
2 tbsp Tomato Puree/Paste
12 sheets Spinach lasagna
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp Flour
1/2 cup Soya milk
1 clove Garlic
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
3 tbsp Yeast flakes
1/4 tsp Turmeric

Steam onions, garlic, chilli and celery in the half cup of water. Add
stalks of the broccoli and the mushrooms and simmer for about five
minutes. Add the stock, the canned tomatoes, the herbs, salt and
pepper, the lentils and the broccoli florets. Simmer till the lentils
are tender. Add the corn and the tomato puree. The resulting mixture
should be fairly sloppy still because it has to go into the oven for
20 minutes.

In another pan stir the flour into the cold 1/4 cup of water till a
paste is made. Put on the heat and slowly add the soya milk making
sure to avoid lumps. Add the crushed clove of garlic, some salt and
pepper, the yeast flakes and the turmeric. You should end up with a
pourable cheeze sauce.

Layer the mixture with the lasagna sheets (I used no-boil spinach
lasagna) finishing with a layer of lasagna sheets. Cover with the
cheeze sauce and stick in the oven at about 170 deg. C/330 deg. F for
20 minutes. Eat with a salad.
