ROAST SPUDS
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Spread the Potato rounds on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until soft and turning golden, 15-20 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
TOASTY ALMONDS
Roughly chop the mixed nuts. Place the nuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
TOMATO HEAVEN
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the NOMU rub and the grated garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Stir in the stock, the tomato passata, the drained lentils, a sweetener (to taste), and 150ml of water. Simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, 12-15 minutes. Loosen with a splash of water if it’s too thick.
BEST BÉCHAMEL
Place a small pot over medium heat with 30ml of oil or butter (optional). When hot, vigorously whisk in the flour mix to form a roux. Cook out the flour, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the almond milk until thickened slightly (stirring constantly). If the béchamel is too thick for your liking, add an extra splash of water or milk (optional). Season and remove from the heat.
MMMOUSSAKA
When the sauces and Potato are done, pour a thin layer of the lentil-tomato sauce into an ovenproof dish. Top with a layer of the potato rounds. Dollop over some of the béchamel sauce and spread out evenly. Repeat the layers until everything is finished. Sprinkle the top layer with seasoning. Turn the oven to grill or the highest setting and grill until golden, 10-12 minutes.
Apple TZATZIKI
In a bowl, combine the yoghurt with the diced Cucumber, the grated apple, a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.
