Sarah's Version of Vegetarian Moussaka

I had to make two versions of this because Matt won't eat eggplant or lentils.  Like Anna, I made the vegetable mix the night before without salting the eggplant and it seemed to be ok.
I ate a serving of the vegetable mix for lunch the next day (without the topping) and it was quite tasty.


I used homemade ricotta for the topping but overall the topping wasn't quite what I expected, Matt thought it was a bit too sloppy and I thought the taste wasn't quite right.  It may have been a problem with the seasoning, as when I tasted the sauce prior to adding the egg and ricotta all I got was the raw flour taste which made it hard to determine the right quantity of salt.

Matt's version had lamb in it instead and I had to thicken the sauce with flour due to the lack of lentils but he said the mixture was quite ok.

Overall I think I'd eat the eggplant mixture again - maybe over couscous or pasta but probably not the topping.
