So many green vegetables harvested today for today’s lunch! We also enjoyed some Chocolate mint tea from the garden and a lovely pickled beetroot juice made by Ula (who is also our photographer)!

Leek and green lasagna with side salad x4
Ingredients
400g mixed green leaves , such as kale, chard and spinach, roughly chopped
2 leeks
Olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
6-8 lasagne sheets
Cheese (cheddar, plant-based version, parmesan) coarsely grated
Herbs: Rosemary, parsley, chives
Salt and pepper
Bechamel
3 tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
380 ml soya milk
Optional: Mustard
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C
In a pan on low heat, cook your garlic for a few minutes and add your greens. Cook, stirring until the greens have wilted.
For your bechamel
Add the oil to a pot on the stove and heat it at medium to high heat. As the oil heats, add the flour and stir or whisk vigorously.
Add the soy milk all at once and continue to stir and whisk (you can alternate between a wooden spoon and a whisk) and allow the sauce to gradually thicken.
You will usually get to the right thickness after it has reached boiling point and boiled for a few minutes.
When you’ve reached the desired thickness (keep in mind that the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools), remove from the heat and add any spices you choose, such as some salt and black pepper, rosemary. Add some mustard if desired!
In a baking dish, alternate vegetables, bechamel, lasagne sheets. Finish with a layer of bechamel and cover with cheese.
Place in the oven for 40 min.
