Ingrediants
- 400 g of zucchini
- 50 g of green olives
- Untreated lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of oregano
- A few basil leaves
- Q.b. of pepper
- Q.b. of salt
- 5 g of yeast flakes
- 50 g of almonds
- 300 g of San Marzano tomatoes
- 30 g of capers
Materials Needed
- Mandolin
- Platter
- Mixer
- Lemon grater or row
Preparation
- First, soak the almonds in water for a couple of hours.
- Clean the courgettes, then wash them in cold water and remove the stalk. With the help of a mandolin or a sharp knife, cut the courgettes into very thin slices.
- Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thin slices.
- Arrange the courgettes and tomato slices on a plate and add a little salt (preferably wholemeal), pepper, extra virgin olive oil, chopped basil, oregano and lemon zest.
- Leave to flavor for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, devote yourself to the preparation of raw cheese. Drain the almonds from the soaking water and combine them in a glass of a blender together with the brewer's yeast and one or two tablespoons of water. Blend until you obtain a paste with a consistency similar to that of ricotta.
- Coarsely chop the olives and capers with a knife or blender.
- Form the portions of raw lasagna following this order: slices of flavored zucchini, slices of flavored tomato, almond ricotta, olives and capers. Cover again with other slices of zucchini and tomato, and so on until three or more layers are formed.
The original idea
To further flavor the raw lasagna, you can add chopped dried tomatoes or serve the dish with a sauce based on chopped basil, oil and pine nuts.- Serve immediately with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
