    This meal is super alkalizing and satisfying. It’s worth noting that the next day this meal always tastes better, since konnyaku absorb more flavor over time.

    I created this recipe when I attempted to make vegan aqcua pazza – the Italian dish without fish and still rich flavor – but struggled to achieve the rich flavour that the dish is well known for. When I experimented with only using garlic, tomato and root veggies with vegetarian stock, the dish didn’t mimic the flavour well enough.

    At first, I added extra olives for extra flavour, but it was still lacking, so I added capers. Voila! The konnyaku absorbed the flavourful broth, beautifully. I served it with garlic daikon rice and it ended up being a fabulous combination!

    For this recipe, the Slendier lasagna sheets, absorb all the flavour and it ends up being a delicious dish.

    TIP: You can use other types of root vegetables (such as daikon or potato). However, do not use two root vegetables with a sharp flavor, such as daikon and swede, as it becomes a little too bitter.

    This recipe is from my latest book Japanese superfoods.

    *Konnyaku also known as konjac, konjak, konjaku, konnyaku potato, devil’s tongue, voodoo lily, snake palm, or elephant yam, is the main ingredient in the Slendier range. I use the traditional name in my recipes, but I am using Slendier as my main ingredient.
