Patch up or start again

As per pic below, started to take apart a doorway I intended to brick up only to find the whole (small) wall is lathe and plaster.

In this instance, what would the professionals recommend?

1) apply timber batons to the inner door lining and then plasterboard just the door opening, followed by plaster to make flush with rest of wall
2) rip it all out and put new stud frame in, plasterboard and plaster
3) something else?

No1. But stud it out. That old door frame will hold the laths in place.

Thanks both. No1 certainly the easier/cheaper option, so good to know it's acceptable
