70g arugula, to serve
For the topping
350g frozen butternut squash
25g dairy-free margarine
25g wholemeal flour
300ml cashew milk
Method
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 mins until softened slightly. Add the tomatoes, oregano, 150ml water and some seasoning. Simmer for 15 mins.
Preheat the grill to high and line a large baking sheet with foil. Brush the eggplant and zucchini on both sides with the remaining oil and put on the baking sheet. Grill for 3-5 mins each side until tender and golden.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Stir the lentils into the tomato sauce; simmer for 10 mins. Spoon half the sauce into a deep baking dish and cover with the zucchini, followed by the sliced tomato; season. Spoon the rest of the sauce on top and cover with the eggplant. Set aside.
For the topping, steam the butternut squash for 10-12 mins until tender, then blitz in a food processor until smooth. Melt the margarine spread in a saucepan over a medium heat; stir in the flour to make a paste. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cashew milk. Return to the heat, bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring, for 2 mins.
Stir in the squash and season, then spoon the sauce over the eggplant. Bake for 25 mins. Serve with the arugula.
