VEGETARIAN MOUSSAKA
I had never really cooked hotdish, but my restaurant entered this moussaka in a local hotdish festival, so I think it qualifies! It's based on a Turkish version of the dish, with French lentils in place of ground meat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Char the eggplants over a gas burner, turning with tongs, 4 to 6 minutes. Let cool, then slice 1/2 inch thick.
- Arrange the eggplant slices on two baking sheets. Brush with olive oil on both sides and season with salt. Roast until golden and cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes. Set aside.
- Combine 6 cups water and the lentils in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook until the lentils are tender but not mushy, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Fill a large wide pot with 1 inch of vegetable oil. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚ F or a piece of bread dropped in turns golden quickly. Working in batches, fry the potato slices a few at a time until golden but not too brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a rack to drain and season with salt.
- Make the lentil-tomato sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large wide pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened and starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add the cooled lentils and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree, tomato paste, 1/2 cup water, the oregano, 2 teaspoons salt and 3 grinds of pepper and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Make the béchamel: Combine the cinnamon stick, milk and heavy cream in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the nutmeg and set aside.
- In another saucepan, melt the remaining 1 stick butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking, 3 to 5 minutes (do not let it brown). Slowly whisk in the heavy cream mixture, bring to a simmer and cook until thick and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes; remove from the heat. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then temper them by whisking in 1 cup of the béchamel; whisk the tempered egg mixture into the remaining béchamel. Season with salt and pepper and add the feta.
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Oil an extra-large baking dish or roasting pan. Layer half of the eggplant in the bottom of the pan, then pour half of the lentil-tomato sauce on top, spreading it in an even layer. Top with a layer of half of the potatoes and then spread with half of the béchamel. Repeat the layers (eggplant, lentil-tomato sauce, potatoes, béchamel).
- Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. (If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.) Let cool, then cut into pieces.

Steps:
- For the filling: Heat the vegetable oil in large frying pan. When oil is hot, add the potatoes and cook, turning them over halfway through cooking, until golden brown. Remove potatoes to a paper towel to soak up extra oil. Repeat with the eggplant slices.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat, then add the onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent. Add the ground beef, chopping and stirring with a large wooden spoon until browned. Add the red wine to the mixture and stir until the wine evaporates. Then add the tomato puree, tomato paste, salt, pepper, sugar, cloves, bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Mix well and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and remove bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cloves.
- For the bechamel: Heat the milk in a pot. Heat the butter in another large pot until melted, then add the flour and cook, continuously whisking. Slowly add the heated milk, continuously whisking, and continue to cook, whisking, until the bechamel gets thick. Add the egg yolks, continuously whisking. Add the Parmesan, nutmeg, salt and pepper, whisking everything together. Remove from heat.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Assemble the moussaka: Place a layer of potatoes in a 12-by-15-inch baking pan, making sure to cover the bottom, leaving no open space. Repeat this step with the eggplant. Add a layer of the ground beef mixture. Finally, top with a layer of bechamel. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, for 1 hour.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Trim the eggplants and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange on 2 large foil-lined baking sheets; brush generously with 1/2 cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until soft, about 30 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat; add the chard and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a colander and let cool; squeeze out excess moisture and set aside.
- Wipe the pot dry; add the butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add the lamb, breaking it up into pieces, with the oregano, cinnamon, nutmeg, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste; cook until the meat is slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the meat is cooked but still slightly pink, 1 more minute. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves; bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, lightly oil a 9-by-11-inch casserole dish and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Place the potato slices in the dish; pat dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- As the sauce continues to cook, make the cheese custard: Melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, cooking slightly to form a soft paste. Off the heat, whisk in the milk, nutmeg and 2 teaspoons salt. Return to the heat and bring to a boil, whisking. Remove from the heat again; stir in 1 cup cheese, cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs and egg yolks.
- Reduce the oven to 350 degrees. Layer half of the eggplant on top of the potatoes. Cover with half of the meat sauce, then half of the chard. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, meat sauce and chard. Pour the custard sauce on top, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup kefalotiri cheese. Bake the moussaka, uncovered, until the custard is set and lightly browned, about 1 hour. Let rest 20 minutes before serving.
