Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste. Then set aside.
Arrange the ingredients for the salad in a bowl. Then set aside.
Preheat oven to 450°F (240°C).
Prep eggplant: Place eggplant slices slightly overlapping in a large colander. Sprinkle with some salt. Repeat with remaining eggplant. Leave to sweat for 20 minutes. While sweating, make meat sauce.
Make meat sauce: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over high heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add the lamb and cook until browned, using a spatula to break it up as you go. Add wine, cook for 2 minutes or until the alcohol smell is gone. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then lower heat to medium low and cook for 15 minutes, or until reduced to a thick sauce.
Layer the eggplant on a baking sheet. Bake eggplant for 15 - 20 minutes or until lightly browned and softened. While baking, make bechamel sauce.
Make bechamel sauce: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Continue stirring constantly while slowly adding the milk. Cook, stirring regularly, for another 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat and whisk in cheese, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Cover with lid and set aside.
Once the eggplant is cooked, remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly
Lower oven to 375°F (190°C).
Assemble Moussaka: Layer half of the eggplant in the bottom of an appropriately sized baking dish or oven-safe container, then cover with all of the Meat Sauce. Top with remaining eggplant, then pour the Béchamel sauce over top.
