There is a Turkish takeout restaurant in a strip mall on Long Island that makes the most divine layered lamb with lashings of sharp feta or goat cheese cream sauce and sweet-smoky roasted vegetables that I have been lusting after lately. I also have been paging through a cookbook I heisted from my sister, Cucina & Famiglia, written by Joan Tucci (Stanley Tucci's mama) and was reminded of the spectacular timpano made famous in the movie "Big Night". This dish is the love child of the Turkish take out dish and that movie. As you can see, this recipe is incredibly long but each component can be completed ahead of time and assembled and baked.
