If you, like me, find it hard to get your two and five in everyday then struggle no longer – because help is from Queen of the airwaves and kitchen whizz, Chrissie Swan.
Chrissie has shared her much sought after recipe for veggie lasagne and it has my mouth watering.
“I made up a really great recipe for vegetarian lasagne and my mother-in-law asked me to write it down so I just did so I thought I’d share it with you because it’s so delicious and my kids can’t even tell is has about 17 kilos of vegetables in it! It works on the @_juliegoodwin principal of making the veges like mince and cooking them *as if* they’re mince,” she wrote on Instagram.
Chrissie's "Sneaky Vegetable lasagne" recipe.
Chrissie explains that in order to make this scrumptious looking dinner, you will need a big frying pan as well as a food processor.
The recipe makes a huge, huge, huge lasagne. Chrissie says it will make 15 meals in total so you can half the recipe if you only have a little lasagne tray. Here is what you will need to whack in it.
Ingredients.
Chrissie writes the following as the crucial ingredients to her delicious lasagna:
2 eggplants
2 big zucchinis
4 brown onions
5 cloves garlic
6 carrots (medium ones)
Whole paper bag of mushrooms
(You don't have to peel anything)
2 big tins of tomatoes
Half jar of tomato paste
Herbs/salt/pepper
Family box of San Remo large lasagne
Bag of grated cheese.
Basic bechemal sauce for the top.

Some red kidney beans or cannelloni beans would be a great addition too, to up the protein.
I do a similar recipe but chuck a whole head of cauliflower and a few heads of broccoli through the food processor too. Capsicum for a bit of extra flavour. My kids can't get enough.
