Ingredients

  • 2 eggplants
  • 2 potatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 200 ml. fried tomato
  • Salt
  • 1 spoonful of oregano
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 500 ml. vegan Bechamel

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180º while peeling and cut the aubergines and potatoes into thin slices and do the same with the onion.
  2. In a mold suitable for oven, we put a little tomato fried in the bottom and, on this, we put a layer of eggplant, we toss a little pepper and oregano on top and add a layer of onion. On this last, put a layer of potatoes and cover with another tomato. On each layer of ingredients that we are putting, we throw some salt (not much to avoid that it is salty).
  3. We repeat the same operation of putting layers: eggplant, onion and potato with pepper and oregano sprinkled with salt. We finish with a layer of eggplant.
  4. We cover the cake with bechamel and bake for 45 minutes. If we see that after this time is still not well done, we lower the temperature of the oven a little and leave it for another 10 minutes (always watching that it does not burn).
  5. After this time, we remove the cake from the oven and let it cool a bit to unmold it.
