Delicious Vegetable Lasagna

This lasagna recipe has a different twist, as instead of making it in the oven, it’s cooked on a grill with applewood chips, which gives it a special flavor. It’s made with eggplants, zucchini, red peppers, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan, along with a touch of delicious olive oil.

Low
  • Prepare your Weber® grill for medium direct heat (350° - 450°F or 175° - 232°C). Soak 2 handfuls of Weber Applewood Chips in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling.
  • To prepare the sauce, in a medium pot, heat the olive oil and add the onion, carrot, and celery; cook for 10 minutes or until the onion is soft, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes, garlic, bay leaf, oregano, dried chili, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and cook on low heat for another 40 minutes, covered. Remove the bay leaf and add the tomato concentrate, increase heat to medium, and let it boil for 15 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens, adjust seasoning, and set aside.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the ricotta layer and set aside. Brush the vegetables with olive oil, add salt and pepper to taste, and transfer them to your grill over medium direct heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until you start to see grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  • Begin assembling the lasagna in a large Weber Drip Tray, layering your ingredients in the following order: a layer of sauce, lasagna sheets, ricotta mixture, grilled vegetables, and repeat until finishing with a layer of lasagna, sauce, and finally, the grated cheese mixture.
  • Place the chips directly on the coals or in your Weber Original Smokebox, and once they start to emit white smoke, transfer the lasagna dish to your grill over medium indirect heat for 40 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the dish from the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes. Serve hot.
