A vegan version of our beloved moussaka. It has a light flavor thanks to the baked, not fried, ingredients. The potato purée-style béchamel is light, and the filling is delicious with a tomato sauce and mushrooms.

    Drain the eggplants, arrange them on a baking sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) with convection for 10-15 minutes. Finish under the broiler for color.

    Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into 1/2-inch (about 1 cm) thick slices. Soak briefly in water, then drain. Arrange on a nonstick baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) with convection for 15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Place the baked zucchini, potatoes, and eggplants on platters lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. It's best to do this the night before so they can drain overnight.

  16. 16

    For the béchamel: Boil the potatoes in salted water until very soft (they should mash easily). Reserve the potato cooking water in one container and place the potatoes in another bowl (do not discard the cooking water).

  17. 17

    In a clean pot, add the reserved potato water (as specified in the recipe), the vegetable bouillon, and the potatoes. Heat the pot. Once the bouillon dissolves, blend everything with an immersion blender to make a potato soup.

    In another pot, heat the olive oil. When hot, add the flour and stir constantly over medium heat for about 2 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from heat and gradually add the potato water, stirring constantly.

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  20. 20

    Return the pot to the heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens and resembles béchamel. Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and pepper at the end. The béchamel should be pourable, not too thick.
