Is this the right place for food fight Friday? Not sure how this all works but thought if it’s goin down I should probably get me some. In our house we veganize any and all specialty recipes: this is our rendition of an Eggplant Moussaka; style: plant based.
This time I forwent the béchamel sauce because I’m off the flour (go ahead and say béchamel outloud, it’s a cool word). The picture was taken in a hurry because after 2.5hrs of cooking you’re prit tee starving!
First thing is first, it all starts when your husband is otherwise engaged writing a so very witty post for Steemit. Fine, you say I have extra time on my hands… let’s get to cookin then.
Slicing an Eggplant into 1/4 inch flats was easy, getting the zucchini to match was a cinch, simoulataneously simmering the lentils…equals… piece o cake!
Shaving the potatoes (peeling the po-tates) is a task I usually fain skill level mastery. I’m always picturing, in the back of my mind, one slip of the peeler and now my knuckle is hanging on by a single double helix (oxymoron, I know 🤷🏼♀️). But back to them taters…
(Am I stoned or is this picture sideways? Upside down? Nah, it’s just right).
I decided to add some pots to the layers (no, not pot smh). At this point in the game I look over to my husband, 45 minutes later, and he hasn’t moved an iota. The thought to check his pulse crosses my mind but the garlic needed-a-mincing.
Adding garlic, almond milk, sea salt and pepper to the boiled pots, I mash them with a fork (sure, a potato masher will do the trick if you fancy like that). When good and mashed set the tates aside.
Start sautéing the onion until nice and fragrant. (Oh, hi 
Now I’m adding the garlic, the tomatoes, lentils, spices and bringing it all to a simmer.
The stony-er you are the side-way-zee-er these pictures look. Thanks for putting up with me.
Now for the fun part. Get a big glass dish and layer the bottom with grilled eggplant.
Add some layers of zucchini, potato and spread your lentil, tomates, onion mix on top. Now repeat steps 1-3, (or is it 6-8? Someone please tell me what step we’re on…).
I started running out of zucchini here so I stratigically employed my Tetris skills from childhood to pull this all together seamlessly. Here comes my favorite part though:
Topping the dish off with mashed po-tates. Traditionally you’d top this layer with the béchamel (go ahead and say it outloud: bay-sha-mel) sauce but no flour for this girl right now.
In the oven it goes while I sit and read next to my husband who is still in Steemit land.
Thirty minutes, tons of dishes and a growling stomach later, we feast!
This is the part where
