VEGETARIAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil in a large, heavy-based pan. Add 1 finely chopped onion and cook gently for 5 - 10 mins until softened.
• Add 3 sliced garlic cloves, 1 tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 3 sliced carrots, 2 finely sliced celery sticks, 1 chopped red pepper and 1 chopped yellow pepper and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add two 400g cans tomatoes, 250ml vegetable stock (made with 1 stock pot), 2 thickly sliced courgettes and 2 sprigs fresh thyme and cook for 20 - 25 minutes.
• Take out the thyme sprigs. Stir in 250g cooked lentils and bring back to a simmer. Serve with wild and white basmati rice, mash or quinoa.

VEGAN TORTILLA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans, squash, tomatoes and their juices, tomato paste and kale; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Set the vegetable filling aside.
• In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, layer 2 of the tortillas, 1/4 of the vegetable filling and 1/4 cup of the vegan cheese or cashew cheese sauce. Repeat the layers 3 times, ending with the cheese or cheese sauce.
• Bake uncovered until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is hot all the way through, about 20 minutes. Serve with cilantro and vegan sour cream.
• Soak the cashews in a bowl with cold water for 8 to 12 hours. (Alternatively, "flash soak" them in a heatproof bowl with boiling water for 10 minutes.) Drain then transfer to a food processor or high-powered blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
