Hello everybody, it is me again, Dan, welcome to our recipe page. Today, I will show you a way to make a distinctive dish, vegan moussaka 🇬🇷. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I’m gonna make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Start off by putting on some tofu to press. It's ideal if you use a tofu press, but if you don't have one you can place the block of tofu on a plate with another plate on top of it and then place something heavy on top of that, like a heavy pot or stack of books. Vegan moussaka with lentils and eggplant!

To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can have vegan moussaka 🇬🇷 using 20 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Vegan Moussaka 🇬🇷:

It makes a satisfying meal and goes superbly well with a glass of red wine. My moussaka uses lentils and walnuts in place of meat, layers of eggplant and zucchini, and a cozy mashed potato crust topped with vegan Béchamel. I was actually a little nervous about that last part, being not really sure if the potato Béchamel layer would taste good without the traditional feta cheese you find in traditional moussaka, or. First, pour a bit of the lentil sauce on the bottom of the baking dish and spread.
Steps to make Vegan Moussaka 🇬🇷:
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
Add the remainder of the lentil sauce. Finally, spread bechamel sauce on top, making sure to smooth it out well with the back of a spoon. A really easy gluten-free and vegetarian moussaka is the comfort food every veggie needs in their life. 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. Easy and incredibly more-ish - a real crowd-pleaser for vegans and non-vegans alike!
