The World’s Best Ever Magical Paleo Lasagna – Guest Post From: Predominantly Paleo

Today I would like to introduce to you a very talented young lady: Jennifer of Predominantly Paleo, who was so nice to share this wonderful recipe with me! Not only the Italians can make a mean lasagna!

The World’s Best Ever Magical Paleo Lasagna

Alright, alright, so maybe it hasn’t quite yet won these accolades, but, I can assure you that this was pretty much out of control good.  I never could imagine that lasagna could be edible if you took out the two most important ingredients: noodles and cheese.  But alas, not only was it edible it was incredible! I hope you’ll agree!!!

Ingredients:

For “cheese”

• 1 cup cashews soaked for 2-3 hours and drained
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 egg

For meat sauce:

• 1 pound grass fed ground beef
• 1 jar organic marinara (i used garlic marinara)

For veggie layers:

• 1 eggplant
• 1 large zucchini sliced in 1/4 inch pieces
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup cashew meal
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 tablespoons water

1. Preheat oven to 400
2. In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs and 2 tablespoons water
3. Mix cashew meal and garlic salt on a plate
4. Slice eggplant in 1/4 inch slices, saturate in egg wash, then dredge in cashew meal
5. Place on baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes, flipping once
6. Reduce heat to 375 in oven
7. While eggplant is baking, brown ground beef in medium sized skillet then add marinara and turn off heat
8. For “cheese”, place soaked cashews, water, seasonings, and apple cider vinegar in blender or food processor and puree
9. Add in egg and blend again briefly
10. In a greased casserole dish, place a layer of sliced zucchini on the bottom
11. Now spoon half of meat sauce over zucchini
12. Spread half of “cheese” on top of meat sauce
13. Layer baked eggplant on top of “cheese”
14. Then spoon remaining meat sauce on top and “cheese” on top of meat sauce
15. I spread the “cheese” into the meat sauce a little bit so they were slightly combined
16. Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes
