Vegetarian Moussaka

Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and set aside for 30 minutes.
Rinse and pat dry.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brown
eggplant and zucchini slices on both sides; drain. Adding more oil if
necessary, brown potato slices; drain.
Saute onion and garlic until lightly browned. Pour in vinegar and
reduce. Stir in tomatoes, lentils, 1/2 the juice from lentils, oregano
and parsley. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15
minutes.
In a 9×13 inch casserole dish layer eggplant, zucchini, potatoes,
onions and feta. Pour tomato mixture over vegetables; repeat
layering, finishing with a layer of eggplant and zucchini.
Cover and bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine butter, flour and milk.
Bring to a slow boil, whisking constantly until thick and smooth.
Season with pepper and add nutmeg. Remove from heat, cool for 5
minutes, and stir in beaten egg.
Pour sauce over vegetables and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake, uncovered, for another 25 to 30 minutes.
