    In todays video I show you how to make #Lasagne !!!
    My Lasagne recipe is probably the best ever..in my opinion. Rich, creamy, cheesy & indulgent. My vegan lasagne Is very much inspired by a traditional lasagnes which I used to make a lot before going vegan. Making a rich vegan ragu & creamy vegan béchamel sauce its actually better than the lasagne's I used to make before going vegan. You must try it!! big love @gazoakley

I used a vegan boulonnaise recipe using mushrooms on line and adapted it for the vegan mince. It required preparing a day advance to slow-cook the mushrooms.

    You've got to season at every stage in order to let the salt brake (by osmosis) into the cells of the ingredients. Since it's a long process the earlier the better. Heat also helps speeding it up!

      @EiLpigreco 4 роки тому +15

      This comment is coming from an Italian person (yes, I saw this video many months after it was released) that's approaching vegan diet.
      I can say I'm not a typical Italian if for typical Italian you necessarily think about those Italian cuisine traditionalists that always complain about recipes not being right. However, who decides what's a typical Italian? I most certainly love my country's traditions but I'm 100% aware that cooking involves fantasy and creativity so I am fine with a vegetarian carbonara and vegan lasagne (it's plural - lasagne, not lasagna. I'm most concerned about the wrong use of the grammar than about the ingredients list). The thing is: it's very useful to call them that way because people recognize those names so of course if you make pasta with, let's say, tempeh instead of bacon (guanciale), with a egg substitute and nutritional yeast instead of pecorino cheese that is not a pasta alla carbonara, but that's the whole point: it's a vegan version of the least vegan Italian pasta dish so of course you have to swap everything. That makes perfect sense and if you're trying to recreate the same flavors and textures of the original recipe you might as well just call it carbonara. I think it's more a matter of nomenclature than anything else. Is it a carbonara if it doesnt have the only 3 ingredients that carbonara requires? No. Is it important that we call it differently if the aim is to recreate that dish in a vegan version? No.
      So people should just chill. All people I mean. Italian fanatics and whoever complains about them.
      I also want to point out that lasagne is the type of pasta not necessarily the ingredients you put in and we make all sorts of lasagne. Ever tried with pumpkin and mushrooms? Or with radicchio? Or with pesto? (Just naming a few that can easily be "veganized" but there's many more). So yeah.. nomenclature

Of course the vegan version is not going to be exactly like the traditional one for obvious reasons. Sometimes people are ignorant and just can't make a change.

    This recipe is amazing. You would never guess that its vegan. The béchamel is mad.
    I'm vegetarian, trying out veganism for a few months and my flatmates are meat eaters. They had a portion of the lasagne and said that they could eat it everyday and didn't miss the meat, cheese or milk.

    - cut out balsamic vinegar ( I don't like the taste in general so i just didn't like it in the meal)
    - Sizes of stuff:
    - - 2 x 375 gram bags of mince,
    - - whole eggplant not half
    - - 5 cloves of garlic at the start, 2-3 more later (love garlic and I think here it's not as strong as in some countries)
    - - 3 cans of chopped tomatoes not 2, 2 made it too dry and not tomatoey enough
    - lots more salt and pepper than the first time, salt in the bechamel sauce also.
    - 1 x crumbled veg stock cube into ragu
    - a pinch of smoked paprika in ragu,
    - and being very careful with the puree - first time I put too much and I think it tasted like pizza sauce.
    - bit of butter into the ragu
    - put nutritional yeast into bechamel
    - cooking the ragu a lot longer - like at least 30 min after tomatoes and mince lol! First time i was in a rush...

    I just discovered your channel and I'm in love. I went shopping straight away and cooked this lasagne for my non vegan flatmate and me (vegan). And let me tell you...it was sooo good. He couldn't get enough of it. Me as well of course. Thank you for your passion and help.
    I know it doesn't belong here...but you are so incredible handsome. ☺️

    I refer to this video every year on thanksgiving to make a béchamel sauce for my vegan Mac and cheese. It never disappoints. Thank you so much !!!!
