Sweet Potato Moussaka - plating definitely needs much more work but this recipe from “essen & trinken” was as good as always. They tend to produce creative dishes on level with upscale restaurants. 

Here you make a few things in parallel to assemble later - roast red and yellow peppers under the grill until black and remove skin to create a nice smoky flavor. Cut sweet potatoes in thin slices and pre-bake in the oven with olive oil. The ragu is made with ground lamb, onions, garlic, tomato passata, thyme, parsley, 5-spice powder and chile flakes. Spinach is quickly sautéed with onions and garlic and squeeze dry. And finally one makes a nutmeg heavy béchamel sauce. Once you assemble everything you top it with a mix of feta, egg yolk and heavy cream before baking it in the oven

This looks incredible! Could you please elucidate the details of the recipe? I tried googling "essen & trinken" and was not successful.

Edited to add: I have found the original German recipe and have engaged google's sometimes peculiar translating services.
PM me if you want English version

I didn't find the right recipe. Could you please post a link?
