Lentils may not be the glamor star of superfoods, but packed with protein, carbohydrates, fibre, folate and magnesium, they’ll fill you up and make you feel great. A deliciously creamy, golden cauliflower and cashew cheese finishes off Simon’s plant-based crowd-pleaser.

Methodbased on 6 servings
1

Preheat oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking paper. Place aubergine slices on tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2

Meanwhile, to make the sauce, put porcini mushrooms in a heatproof bowl and fill with boiling water. Leave to sit for about 30 minutes. Drain the gritty water and chop up finely.

3

Heat a saucepan with oil over medium-high heat and add the onion and cook for a few minutes until browned.

4

Add garlic, carrot, celery and rosemary and cook until soft. Next, add the tomatoes and lentils and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the porcini mushrooms, oregano, stock and season to taste. Simmer for another 20 minutes on low.

5

To make the cauliflower cheese, fill a large saucepan with boiling water and simmer cauliflower and cashews until both are soft, around 5-7 minutes. Drain and add to a food processor along with almond milk, vegan butter, nutritional yeast, water and season to taste. Blend until smooth.

6

Grease a 22 x 16cm oven-proof baking dish and begin to layer your lasagne. Start by layering the bottom of the dish with aubergine. Then add the lentil tomato mix followed by a handful of spinach leaves, then a layer of cauliflower sauce. Repeat until you have filled your dish. Sprinkle remaining cauliflower cheese on top and cover with foil.

7

Place baking dish in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the top is crispy.

8

Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve.
