Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

30g bag dried porcini mushrooms
8 tbsp olive oil
1 onion , finely chopped
2 carrots , finely chopped
2 celery sticks , finely chopped
4 garlic cloves , sliced
few springs of thyme
1 tsp tomato purée
100ml vegan red wine (optional)
250g dried green lentils
2 x 400g cans whole plum tomatoes
250g pack chestnut mushrooms , chopped
250g pack portobello mushrooms , sliced
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp Marmite
1kg floury potato (such as Maris Piper), peeled and chopped
1 ½ tsp dried oregano
3 aubergines , sliced lengthways
150ml soya milk

Steps:

  • Pour 800ml boiling water over the dried porcini and leave for 10 mins until hydrated. Meanwhile, pour 1½ tbsp oil into a large saucepan. Add the onion, carrot, celery and a pinch of salt. Cook gently, stirring for 10 mins until soft. Remove the porcini from the liquid, keeping the mushroomy stock and roughly chop. Set both aside.
  • Add the garlic and thyme to the pan. Cook for 1 min, then stir in the tomato purée and cook for a minute more. Pour in the red wine, if using, cook until nearly reduced, then add the lentils, reserved mushroom stock and tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and leave to simmer with the lid on.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan. Add 1½ tbsp oil and tip all of the mushrooms into the pan, including the rehydrated ones. Fry until all the water has evaporated and the mushrooms are deep golden brown. Pour in the soy sauce. Give everything a good mix, then scrape the mushrooms into the lentil saucepan.
  • Stir in the Marmite, then continue to cook the ragu, stirring occasionally, over a low-medium heat for 30-45 mins until the lentils are cooked and the sauce is thick and reduced, adding extra water if necessary. Remove the thyme sprigs and season to taste.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water. Bring to the boil, then cook until mashable.
  • Meanwhile, mix the remaining 5 tbsp oil with the oregano, then brush the aubergine slices with most of it and sprinkle with sea salt. Griddle for 3 mins on each side until soft.
  • Drain and mash the potatoes with the soya milk. Season to taste.
  • Spoon the ragu into a large lasagne dish (or two smaller ovenproof dishes), layer in ½ the aubergine, followed by the mash. Brush the remaining oregano oil across the mash, then finish by topping with the remaining aubergine slices. Bake in the oven for 25-35 mins until golden and bubbling.

VEGAN MOUSSAKA



Vegan Moussaka image

This vegan moussaka is deliciously layered with baked eggplant, homemade vegan mince and a creamy vegan bechamel sauce. Ultimate comfort food.

Provided by Alison Andrews

Categories     Entree     Savory

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 32

2 Large Eggplants ((1.3 pounds/600g) Sliced)
Olive Oil (For Brushing)
Sprinkle Salt and Pepper
8 ounces Extra Firm Tofu ((226g) Pressed)
1 cup Walnuts ((100g) Finely Chopped)
2 1/2 cups Cremini Mushrooms ((240g) Finely Chopped)
15 ounce Can Brown Lentils (Drained, or 1 and 1/2 cups cooked lentils)
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Medium Onion (White, Yellow or Brown, Finely Chopped)
2 Medium Stalks Celery (Finely Chopped)
1 Medium Red Bell Pepper (Finely Chopped)
1 Tbsp Crushed Garlic
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1 tsp Dried Rosemary
1/8 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup Tomato Paste ((130g))
1 cup Marinara Sauce ((240ml))
1 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Coconut Sugar
1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Salt (To Taste)
3/4 cup Olive Oil ((180ml))
3/4 cup All Purpose Flour ((94g))
8 cups Soy Milk ((1930ml))
Black Pepper (To Taste)
Sea Salt (To Taste)
Dried Oregano
Paprika
Ground Black Pepper
Sprigs of Fresh Rosemary

Steps:

  • Start off by putting your tofu on to press. If you have a tofu press, then this is perfect to use, but if not, you can place the block of tofu on a plate, with another plate on top of it and then place something heavy on top of that, like a heavy pot or a heavy stack of books. Let it press for 20 minutes.
  • While the tofu is pressing, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice the eggplant into round slices about 1/4 inch thick and place them onto parchment lined baking sheets (we used two half sheet trays).
  • Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper.
  • Place the eggplant into the oven and bake for 25 minutes, turning them over at the halfway mark.
  • Add walnuts to the food processor and process into crumbles. Add to a mixing bowl.
  • Add sliced mushrooms to the food processor and process until finely chopped. Add to the mixing bowl.
  • When the tofu is pressed, mash it with a fork and add it to the mixing bowl.
  • Add the lentils to the mixing bowl and toss everything together.
  • Add olive oil, chopped onion, celery and red bell pepper to a pot and sauté until softened.
  • Add crushed garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, rosemary and cinnamon. Sauté for a minute to lightly toast the spices.
  • Now add the walnut, mushroom, tofu and lentil mix and toss together with the vegetables and spices.
  • Add tomato paste, marinara sauce and soy sauce and fry for about 8 minutes until you have cooked off any excess liquid and have a delicious soft mince texture.
  • Add coconut sugar, black pepper and sea salt to taste.
  • Add olive oil to a pot and heat it. Add the flour and fry it in the oil briefly. Add in all the soy milk at once and stir vigorously until well combined.
  • Alternate between a wooden spoon and a whisk while heating to remove any lumps. It can tend to stick to the bottom of the pot so make sure you are scraping the bottom of the pot constantly and then whisking it in.
  • Keep stirring and whisking until it reaches a rolling boil and then let it boil while you continue to stir until it thickens.
  • When it's thickened, add black pepper and salt to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place half of the roasted eggplant along the bottom of a 9x13 oven-safe dish. Add all the vegan mince on top of the eggplant and smooth it down into a thick layer.
  • Top the vegan mince with the remaining sliced eggplant. Add all of the bechamel sauce on top and smooth it down with the back of a spoon.
  • Place into the oven to bake for 40 minutes switching to grill for the last 5 minutes so that it can brown on top.
  • Let it cool for 10 minutes on the countertop before serving.
  • Decorate with sprinkles of dried oregano, paprika, ground black pepper and sprigs of fresh rosemary.

VEGAN MOUSSAKA



Vegan Moussaka image

This version of moussaka is loaded with roasted eggplant and zucchini and has a lovely pine-nut tofu topping. It is out of Veganomicon (such a fabulous book). I wanted to try this from day one of owning the book and finally got round to it today. Like any moussaka I've ever made, it's fairly time consuming because you have to prepare 3 parts...but they're all fairly simple steps. The amount of dishes to do afterwards is probably the biggest issue! I made a nice big casserole which could have fed 6 easily with a salad, maybe even 8. I found that the amount of potatoes this calls for weren't enough for two layers of potato, just one. So I'm not sure if I was off in weight, or if I cut them too thick. But one layer of potato was just fine. You have some leeway to increase the eggplant & zucchini a bit as well, I used 2 medium eggplant and 2 medium zucchini which is well over 1 lb. Well - if you give it a go, I hope you enjoy!

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 lb eggplant (italian sort, not the long japanese type)
1 lb zucchini
1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup olive oil
4 large shallots, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup vegetable broth (or wine)
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 bay leaf
sea salt
1 lb soft silken tofu
1/2 cup pine nuts
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon arrowroot
1 garlic clove
1 pinch nutmeg
1 1/4 teaspoons sea salt (or to taste)
pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil 3 baking sheets.
  • Veg: Slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch thick slices lengthwise. Places them into a colander and sprinkle with salt -- rub the salt around so that it reaches all sides on all pieces. Set the colander aside to sweat for about 15 minutes (takes away any bitterness).
  • In the meantime slice the zucchini into similar 1/4 inch slices lengthwise. Peel the potatoes then slice the same way.
  • Rinse the eggplant and pat dry.
  • Place each vegetable onto it's own baking sheet. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of oil over all the veg, rubbing around so that all sides get covered. The eggplant will need a little more oil, and it does stick more easily. Sprinkle the zucchini and potato with salt. Spread out the veg, overlapping is OK and probably necessary to fit everything on. Roast all the veg until lightly browned around the edges - roughly 15 minutes for the eggplant and zucchini and 20 minutes for the potatoes.
  • Tomato Sauce: Combine the remaning 1/4 cup oil and garlic in a large pan. Heat over medium heat and let the garlic sizzle for about a minute and then add in the shallots. Cook until transulcent, about 5 minutes. Add in the tin of crushed tomatoes (entire tin, no straining). Add the oregano, cinnamon and bay leaf. Leave that covered, to simmer for about 15 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightl and reduce. Turn off the heat and adjust salt to taste. Remove bay leaf.
  • Topping: Using a food processor, blend the pine nuts and lemon juice into a paste. Add the tofu, garlic, arrowroot, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Blend until creamy and smooth.
  • Putting it together: Lightly oil a casserole dish (ie 9 x 13). Reheat the oven to 400. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the dish, followed by a layer of eggplant, a layer of potatoes another 1/2 cup of sauce and half of the breadcrumbs.
  • Assess how much eggplant and potato you have left. If you can do 2 more layers, then do another sequence of sauce/eggplant/potato/sauce. If you can only do 1 more layer then move on to the next zucchini step.
  • Spread all of the zucchini over this, then top with another layer of eggplant/potato/sauce, and the rest of the breadcrumbs.
  • Spread the pine nut topping on last, using a spatula to spread it out as best you can without disturbing the layers underneath.
  • Bake for 40 minutes until the top is lightly browned and a few cracks have formed in the topping. Allow to set 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

THE BEST VEGAN MOUSSAKA



The BEST Vegan Moussaka image

Incredibly delicious vegan moussaka with layers of roasted eggplant, hearty tomato lentil sauce, and roasted garlic cashew bechamel! Just 10 ingredients and simple methods required.

Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Entree

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 head garlic, average size
1 tsp olive oil
2 small to medium eggplant
~2 Tbsp salt ((for sweating the eggplant))
2 Tbsp olive oil ((if oil-free, omit))
1 cup raw cashews, soaked
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast, plus more to taste
1/4 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
3/4 cup water
1/8 tsp nutmeg ((optional))
1 Tbsp oil ((if oil-free, sub twice the amount in water or vegetable broth))
1 cup white or yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15-oz) can green or brown lentils, drained and rinsed ((1 can yields ~1 1/2 cups cooked))
1 (15-oz) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 tsp each sea salt + pepper, plus more to taste
1 tsp dried oregano ((or 2 tsp fresh))
1/8 tsp nutmeg ((optional))

Steps:

  • Start by soaking cashews in very hot water for 30 minutes. In the meantime, move on to the next steps.
  • ROASTED GARLIC: Heat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Slice off the very top of the head of garlic and set on a piece of foil. Drizzle the top with oil and wrap to conceal. Then roast directly on a center oven rack for ~50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the cloves are tender, fragrant, and light golden brown.
  • EGGPLANT: Slice eggplant vertically, 1/4 inch thick. Then salt slices on both sides and add to a colander set over a mixing bowl or in the sink (to catch moisture). Let rest 30 minutes to draw out moisture and reduce bitterness. After 30 minutes, rinse and press between 2 clean towels to pat dry.
  • Transfer to 2 large baking sheets lined with parchment paper and brush both sides with olive oil (either spray or use a pastry brush). Then bake at 400 degrees F (204 C) for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
  • BECHAMEL: Drain your soaked cashews and add to a small blender along with roasted garlic (cool slightly then squeeze up from the bottom to the top to remove cloves), olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, water, and nutmeg (optional). Blend on high until creamy and smooth.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt to taste or nutritional yeast for cheesiness. Set aside.
  • LENTIL FILLING: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and onions and sauté until golden brown and slightly caramelized - ~5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Add garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat as needed if browning too quickly.
  • Add lentils and crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, oregano, and nutmeg (optional). Simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered (if splattering, lower heat and cover with lid but crack to allow steam to escape). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more oregano for herbal notes, nutmeg for nuttiness, or salt or pepper to taste.
  • ASSEMBLY: To an 8x8 dish, add 1/3 of the eggplant slices (overlapping slightly if needed), then top with 1/2 of the lentil mixture and spread into an even layer. Then top with another 1/3 of the eggplant. Then add the remaining lentil mixture, and top with the remaining 1/3 of the eggplant. Pour over the bechamel and smooth into an even layer.
  • Bake at 400F (204 C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top appears slightly dry and golden brown on the edges.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan) / 350ºF / Gas Mark 4. Slice the aubergines into rounds about 1/2cm thick. Brush with oil on both sides, season with salt and black pepper and lay on baking trays. Roast for 25 minutes or so, turning half way through cooking, until golden brown all over and soft.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop the onion, carrot and courgette. Heat the olive oil in a large lidded casserole or frying pan, and gently cook the onion and carrot for 4-5 minutes until starting to soften, then add the courgette and garlic and continue to cook for a further 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the cinnamon, oregano and tomato purée to the pan, stir well, then add the lentils and red wine. Turn up the heat to bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. After 2-3 minutes, add the water and stock powder then cover and cook gently for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are soft. If the mixture becomes too dry before the end of cooking, add a little more water, and if there is too much liquid left over just remove the lid for a further few minutes of cooking. Taste and add salt and pepper as required.
  • Whilst the lentil mixture is cooking, bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Peel and thickly slice the potatoes, then add these to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until almost cooked through but not falling apart. Drain and set aside in a bowl.

  • Bring rinsed lentils to boil and cook for 10 mins. Drain and set aside. Peel the potatoes and parboil them for 12 mins. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the oven up to 225° C. Put aubergine slices on a parchment-lined baking tray (no need to grease them) and into the hot oven for 25 minutes - until they are soft and lightly browned. Some people advocate salting aubergine for an hour (and rinsing the salt off) before cooking as salt is meant to draw our bitterness, but I've forgotten to do that a few times and never tasted any bitterness. Do it ahead of baking if you want.
  • In a pan, heat up 3 tbsp of olive oil. Fry onion until translucent. Add in garlic and fry for another minute. Add in cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves coating the onion-garlic mixture in the spices. Gently fry for another minute on low heat so that the spices don't burn.
  • Add in tomatoes, bay leaves and wine. Keep on simmering under cover until tomatoes break down. Add in lentils. Keep on simmering uncovered until all the liquid has evaporated and the sauce has thickened. Season with salt, sugar and pepper and adjust to your liking. Let the sauce cool down.

  • We start with preparing the eggplant. To do this, remove the stem of the aubergine and cut about 0.5 inch (1 cm) thick slices lengthways. Now lightly salt the eggplant and place in a colander for about 30 min. This will drain the eggplant and prevent the moussaka from becoming too watery. And preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In the meantime, cut the potatoes into thin slices. And put them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Take a cloth and pat it dry briefly. Now put the eggplants on a baking sheet. And bake the eggplant with the potatoes for about 20 minutes, making sure that the potatoes
