Method

Roasted Garlic: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice off top of garlic bulb. Pour about 1 tbsp olive oil over top of garlic bulb so that the oil drips down between the cloves. Top with a few shakes of sea salt. Wrap bulb in foil and place in oven with cut side down. Allow garlic to roast for 1 hour. Pesto: In a blender or food processor, add bulb of roasted garlic, squeezing out the roasted cloves into blender, then add lemon juice, goat cheese and basil. Blend until desired texture is reached. Taste for lemon juice or goat cheese then set aside. Red Peppers: Preheat oven to broil. Lay red peppers onto a greased cookie sheet. Allow red peppers to broil until blistered on top, 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Eggplant Zucchini and Mushrooms: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place zucchini, tofu and eggplant onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake until vegetables and tofu begin to crisp. Or cook tofu in a saute pan on high heat until crispy. In a greased saute pan, toss in mushrooms on medium heat. While mushrooms are cooking, add a small dollop of pesto to pan. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and set aside. Stacks: On a greased cookie sheet, begin to layer vegetables, tofu, pesto, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Be sure to start with a piece of eggplant on the bottom, then build the stack. Place back in the oven for 5-10 minutes, just to warm.
