This isn't traditional I know, but it was so fun to make.
My husband had his company Xmas party held at the Barr Mansion here in Austin. The nice chefs there thought about the veggie people out there and came up with this dish-- Vegan Moussaka. Traditional moussaka is made with ground lamb, eggplant, and a tomato based sauce and sometime either a custard or mashed potatoes on top.
This version is sliced delicata squash, eggplant rounds, and a lentil tomato stuffing. The top is lightly herbed mashed potatoes with scallions and nutmeg. The sauce is a vegan bechamel sauce.

It turned out nicely, except I might need a new bechamel sauce, I'm still very partial to the dairy/butter variety.
