Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 pound mushrooms -- your favorite variety

2 cups raw sunflower seeds

1 1/2 cups almonds

1 cup sunflower seeds

3 cups natural pasta sauce (store bought or

Delights Live Barbecue Sauce, page 107)

2 teaspoons Spike, garlic salt, or salt substitute

1 cup Soulful Tahini Caesar Salad Dressing

tamari (soy sauce) as needed

olive oil -- as necessary

 

Begin by slicing the mushrooms into chunks roughly 1/2 " square. Place the

chopped mushrooms into a mixing bowl and soak them in a combination of tamari

(soy sauce) and water (adding two tablespoons of tamari for every one cup of

water) such that the mushrooms arc just covered. Cover with plastic wrap and

allow to soak for an hour. If you want to make it more quickly, you can soak it

for as little as a few minutes. The idea. though is to allow the mushrooms to

absorb the flavor of the tamari and become more tender.

 

While the mushrooms are soaking, make a breading that will be used for the

mushroom, later, by pulverizing one cup sunflower seeds, two tablespoons Italian

seasonings and two teaspoons Spike (garlic salt or salt substitute) in a food

processor. Let run for several minutes until the sunflower seeds are as

pulverized as possible. When finished, pour the contents of the food processor

into a bowl and set aside for use later.

 

Coat your fingers with olive oil and grease the bottom and sides of an eight

inch square glass baking pan with olive oil. Then " flour " the pan by sprinkling

a few pinches of the breading onto the olive oil on the sides and bottom of the

pan. Not too much--just a few crumbs. This step is to ensure that the lasagna

does not stick to the pan so that it is easier to cut and serve. Once you've

sprinkled a few pinches of breading around the pan, place the pan aside for use

later in the recipe.

 

Next make the Nutmeat, which is the bottom layer of the lasagna. To make the nut

meat, combine one cup sunflower seeds and 1 1/2 cups almonds in the food

processor and allow to run for a couple of minutes. It will take that long for

the nuts and seeds to be pulverized fully. Pour the contents of the food

processor into a mixing bowl and add 2 1/2 cups natural pasta sauce (or Delights

Live Barbecue Sauce, page 107) holding aside 1/2 cup of sauce. Stir sauce into

nuts and seeds until evenly distributed. Spoon the contents of the bowl into the

baking pan and pat down the nut meat evenly. Pour the remaining half cup of

pasta sauce over the nut meat and spread it out evenly with a spoon.

 

Next pour a thin layer of olive oil into a flat plastic container and spoon the

mushrooms out of the tamari water and into the olive oil using a slotted spoon.

Stir the mushrooms around in the olive until they are thoroughly coated, then

one spoonful at a time, place the mushrooms in the breading and turn the

mushrooms until completely coated with the breading. Then place the coated

mushrooms on top of the lasagna, covering the entire top.

 

The final step is to pour a thin layer (one cup) of Soulful Tahini Caesar Salad

Dressing (see recipe page 110) over the top of the lasagna. Sprinkle any unused

breading over the top of the lasagna. Best served immediately but will store

fine in the refrigerator.

NOTES : Raw Lasagna! Who ever heard of such a thing? Well before you laugh,

realize that this is an absolutely delicious, innovative and healthy new dish.

It's great as an entree, but you could also serve little pieces of it as hors

d'ouerves at your next get together. Another idea: Since in the process of

making this recipe, you also make the dressing for our Soulful Tahini Caesar

Salad, why not try serving the two of them together! We've tried it and they're

a delicious combination.

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 clove garlic

1/2 cup tahini

1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce -- (1 to 2)

1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard

this dressing in conjunction with the Soulful Tahini Caesar Salad (page 71) or

as a delicious dressing on any salad of your choice.

NOTES : This recipe was designed to go with our Soulful Tahini Caesar Salad but

to tell you the truth, it's a great dressing for just about any salad. It's so

rich and creamy that people will swear it's made with some kind of dairy

products.
