No-Pasta Vegetable Lasagne

INGREDIENTS LIST:

Ingredients for the sauce:
▢ Olive oil
▢ 3 large onions, sliced
▢ 4 cloves of garlic, chopped or crushed
▢ Tin of tomatoes
▢ Small carton of passata
▢ Large packet of spinach
▢ Fresh thyme or other herb
▢ Salt/pepper/chili flakes to taste

Ingredients for the layers:
▢ 3 large aubergines
▢ 3 courgettes
▢ Peas, fresh or frozen
▢ Feta cheese, about 200 gr, crumbled

COOKING METHOD:

Sauce:
1. Caramelise the onions
2. Add garlic, tomatoes, passata, seasoning and herbs and cook down until you get a thick sauce
3. Stir in the spinach and cook a few minutes until just wilted

Aubergines:
1. Slice lengthways (about a cm thin)
2. Brush with olive oil and grill until soft and slightly charred (I used a George Foreman grill)

Courgettes:
1. Chop into thick chunks, add oil and salt and roast in oven until browned at the edges

Peas:
1. Defrost and warm if frozen, cook if fresh

Assembling the layers:
I used a large rectangular oven dish and layered, starting with tomato sauce at the bottom, and finishing with feta cheese and more tomato sauce on top. The middle is random layers of your choosing..
Once layered, cover with tinfoil and bake in medium oven for about half an hour
