lasagna

[Guest guest]

The biggest problem with veganizing a soy-free lasagne is not going to be what

kind of fake meat to use. Lasagne doesn't even need a meaty texture to taste

like a lasagne, come on, folks!

 

The problem is going to be the " ricotta cheese " and the " cheese " topping.

I have ever used and heard of people using tofu for the ricotta layer, and I

have no idea what could be used for that.

 

When it comes to making crockpot lasagne, could the original poster post her

actual recipe that we're (trying to help) veganize? I would love to make

lasagne in the crockpot, but don't understand the layering--would you put the

cheese topping every few pasta layers, or what? Crockpots are so deep!! I've

never seen a lasagne recipe meant for a crockpot, and the only recipe posted for

lasagne, was not meant for a crockpot, which doesn't help me translate my

lasagne recipe to a crockpot.

 

In terms of the cheese topping, it's pretty easy to make your own vegan

mozzarella cheese. I usually use this recipe, and you can use rice milk in it;

or even water.

 

1 1/3 cups water/ricemilk/almondmilk[note: almond breeze does contain soy]

1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast Flakes

1/4 cup quick cooking oats -- (not instant)

2 tablespoons tahini

1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon onion powder

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

 

 

I blend it all together, and just pour it ontop of the lasagne and then pop it

in the oven. I imagine it would work in a crockpot as well.

" If today is a typical day on planet Earth, we will lose 116 square

miles of rainforest, or about an acre a second. We will lose another 72 square

miles to encroaching deserts, as a result of human mismanagement and

overpopulation. We will lose 40 to 100 species, and no one knows whether the

number is 40 or 100. Today the human population will increase by 250,000. And

today we will add 2,700 tons of chlorofluorocarbons to the atmosphere and 15

million tons of carbon. Tonight the Earth will be a little hotter, it's waters

more acidic, and the fabric of life more threadbare. " - David Orr, In Context

 

all the wrong people have the power of suggestion and the freedom of the press

is meaningless if nobody asks the question . . .

. . . cuz folks just couldn't care less - as long as every day is

superbowl sunday and larger than life women in lingerie are pouting at us from

every bus stop . . . - ani d., serpentine

I use a quarter cup of wheat flour per tub of tofu, crumble it

together with salt and pepper, and use that as the " ricotta " .

But that's still tofu-based; and didn't the original poster need soyfree

recipes?
