Golden Tepary Bean Lasagna
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009
A yummy and healthy lasagna that’s also vegetarian! I haven’t tried this with vegan cheese - if anyone does, please comment. This is a filling dish that won’t add on pounds!
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup(s) tepary beans, rinsed and soaked
- 2-3 Cup(s) vegetable stock
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon(s) tbsp olive oil
- 1 Teaspoon(s) fennel seeds
- 2 zucchini, sliced
- 8 Ounce(s) lasagna noodles, cooked
- 2 Ounce(s) fresh basil
- 2 Large onions chopped
- 32 Ounce(s) seasoned tomato sauce
- 4 Clove(s) garlic
- 1/2-1 Cup(s) grated mozzarella
Directions:
In a medium sauce pan combine the tepary beans, stock and fennel seeds. Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce the heat. Simmer until the beans are tender and the liquid is almost absorbed. Mash the beans and add the tomato sauce. In a large skillet cook the onions and garlic in olive oil for five minutes. Add the zucchini and cook 5-6 minutes. Spread a small amount of sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking pan. Place a single layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Spread half of the zucchini-onion mixture on top of the noodles. Pour half of the lentil-tomato mixture on top of the vegetables; place another layer of lasagna noodles and repeat the process. Cover the top with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
