Preparation

Chop the onions and garlic finely and gently sauté in a frying pan with the oil for 5 minutes over a medium heat.
Cut the washed carrots (unpeeled) into 1-2 mm thin slices or grate them with a grater. Now add the tomatoes, the carrots, the salt and the oregano to the frying pan, then cover and simmer over a medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the carrots are nice and soft.
Then add the vegan mince and simmer for 10 minutes without the lid on.
Season the tomato sauce with the sugar/xylitol, salt to taste and freshly ground pepper. Pour everything into a casserole dish.
Now spread the vegan cheese sauce over the tomato sauce.
Bake the gratin at 200 °C (top/bottom heat) on the middle shelf for 20 minutes until the vegan cheese sauce has golden browned.

Garnish the gratin with fresh garden herbs before serving.

Serve with a crusty slice of bread.
