Vegan moussaka is like a lower carb version of a vegan shepherd's pie! Instead of mashed potatoes on the top you have bechamel sauce. It's also a little like lasagna in that you have layers. It starts off with a layer of roasted eggplant and then you have a layer of homemade vegan mince, then more eggplant, and it's topped off with a thick layer of bechamel sauce.

Instructions to make Vegan Moussaka 🇬🇷:
  1. Slice the Aubergine and sprinkle with some salt, pepper and oil. Bake in the oven for 25 mins at gas mark 4 (180 degrees), until they are soft (you may need to turn them).
  2. Finely slice the remaining vegetables. Chop the tomatoes. Peel and slice the potatoes into flat disks. Boil in a pot of salted water until they are just soft. In a large pot fry the onion and garlic over a medium heat with a good glug of olive oil.
  3. Add the courgette and carrot, fry for a few minutes until they start to soften. Add the chopped tomatoes and cinnamon, paprika and garlic granules. Add the 2 tablespoons of tomato puree. Open the lentils and add 2 tablespoons of the lentil water to the vegetables. Drain the rest of the lentils and add to the vegetables. Cook for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. In the pot the potatoes were boiling in make a white sauce. Over a gentle heat melt the butter, then add the flour. Add the milk and whisk together until you get a smooth, glossy sauce. Season with salt and pepper and some nutmeg.
  5. In a casserole dish layer up the potatoes. Then add the lentil mixture and top with the aubergine. Add the white sauce and top with the vegan cheese and feta. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden-brown and enjoy!

This vegan moussaka recipe swaps the white sauce normally used in this Greek favourite for an equally creamy, yet dairy-free butternut squash topping. The hearty sauce is bolstered with filling lentils and layered between tender slices of aubergine, courgette and tomato. This vegan moussaka is every bit as good as the 'real' thing - a rich lentil ragu cooked in red wine, layered up with roasted aubergine and topped with sliced potato and a creamy vegan béchamel. I've been itching to experiment with vegan-ising the totally luscious Greek dish, Moussaka, for some time but it isn't the speediest dish to make and it took a week's 'staycation' over.
