Mediterranean Veggies Lasagna

End of the day. I open my fridge hoping to find inspiration… Does this ring a bell?…

I have a Mediterranean veggies stew left over, I can see also a bottle of milk. Found it! Let’s make Mediterranean veggies lasagna!

My Mediterranean veggies stew is a Spanish recipe actually, made with red pepper and tomato. Then you just have to adjust it as you like, with onions, zucchinis, …

I make this vegetables mix quite often because my kids love it!! With pastas or rice it’s delicious. So I had some in my fridge which I used instead of my Bolognese sauce  in my meat lasagna recipe. And bam! A new meatless recipe!

As my veggies were already cooked, it took me no longer than 10 minutes of preparation to make my bechamel sauce and my lasagna layers. After that, 25 to 30 minutes were enough to have a nice dinner on my table (Here I will give you the full recipe, veggies stew included).

I added fresh thyme from my garden to my mozzarella. It smelled like summer in our plates!!

The utensils:

My Thermomix for the bechamel sauce or a sauce pan with a thick bottom,

A cast iron pan, like my Staub diameter 22 cm for the vegetables,

And an oven dish.

No more talking…

Let’s see the recipe, Chef!
