Raw Lasagna for plenty

I have a very generous employer at Gimle Organic Perfumery who is as fond of cooking as I am. Therefore, she has made ​​sure that all employees have a copy of the book "Glød og Glæde med Raw Food" by Vibeke Amdisen.

Friend and colleague Marie, has been a few steps ahead of me to try out the recipes from the book, and invited me for dinner making her favorite recipe - Live Lasagna. It proved to be just as good and delicious as I had been told. The dish is incredibly filling because it mostly consists of different types of nut fillings in between the zucchini layers. This recipe would be enough for 6 people, or will make a good lunch the next day. 


There are quite a few ingredients needed so I recommend you to do the shopping in a well assorted vegetable store that also sells raw nuts. The very making of the lasagna is fun, and since it will not be cooked, it's ready when you are ready.

Fritz the happy dog joined us for dinner:)

1. Begin by cutting the squash into fine thin slices lengthwise. Then add a layer of squash in the bottom (half of squash in this layer).
2. Make the walnut filling by mixing all the ingredients in a blender. This layer should be slightly crunchy so do not run for too long in the blender. Press the blended walnuts over the squash.

4. Add a new layer of squash (the rest of the squash)
