Prepare the Greek Moussaka meat sauce. The traditional Greek moussaka recipe calls for either lamb mince or a mix of lamb and beef.

You can serve this casserole hot or cold, but I much prefer to serve it warm. Preheat your grill to medium high. To make the best vegetarian moussaka, it took some tinkering around with ingredients to make a version that felt just as hearty and unctuous as my earlier meaty beef (or lamb) version. To really knock this recipe out of the park, I had to find the PERFECT meat substitute that held up well in the sauce and provided a great hearty texture.

Instructions to make Moussaka, my version:
  1. Preheat oven 400°Fahrenheit
  2. Peel the eggplant. Cut the eggplant into quarters long ways. Take a vegetable peeler and slice the eggplant thinly. About an eighth of an inch thick
  3. Oil the eggplant slices. Add salt. Bake in oven till done. I did mine ith the pan I was going to bake the moussaka in.
  4. When eggplant is soft. Set aside. Mix the cheese and egg together. Lower heat on oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
  5. In a pan add sausage and ground meat. Add onions, cinnamon, allspice, garlic,tomato paste, salt and pepper. When the mixture is browned add diced tomatoes. Simmer 15 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes add beaten egg mixture. Then mix well.
  6. Add meat, egg and cheese mixture to the top of eggplant. Set aside.
  7. Mix eggs, nutmeg, and coconut milk together set aside
  8. In a saucepan add butter and melt. Mix nutmeg and baking powder with parmesan cheese. Add it to butter stirring constantly. Add milk, egg mixture still stirring constantly. Till it thickens add to top of the tomato meat mixture.
  9. Bake in oven 45 minutes. Let cool, this is important, 20 minutes or when you cut into it and serve it will slide. Once it cools it won't do the slide. Even reheated it won't. I refrigerated overnight. Serve hope you enjoy!

Moussaka is a bit of a labor of love as it takes a little effort to prepare, but the end results are worth it. To my mind, moussaka is a more healthy version of lasagna, as the pasta is substituted with eggplants.
