Homemade and plummy moussaka!
Ingredients: A baking pan like the one in the picture, equals several portions.
6-7 eggplants sliced
½ kg ground mixed meat
1 dry onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
½ bunch of parsley chopped
Oregano
1 tin tomato juice – Pumaro
For the sauce:
1 Liter of milk
6-7 tbsp flour
1 egg
Salt, Pepper
But if you want you can buy ready to bake, béchamel
How to prepare:
Cut the potatoes and eggplant into slices and fry lightly. Place them on kitchen paper to remove the excess oil. This procedure is done a day earlier before we cook the moussaka. We fry the night before, so the veggies do not have so much oil.
The next day, after we have the eggplants and potatoes ready, we prepare the ground meat. Add oil in a skillet and sauté the finely chopped onion and then the garlic. Then add the minced meat and stir. Once the minced meat whitens pour the tomato juice, parsley, salt, pepper and oregano. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
Prepare the béchamel.
We start preparing the moussaka.
At the base of the pan we place the potatoes. Then pour the minced meat over so to cover everything. Cover the meat with a layer of eggplants. Finally add the béchamel sauce and spread it to go everywhere.
Bake at 180 oC for half an hour to three quarters of an hour depending on the oven.
And it is ready. Good appetite!
It is not as a difficult food as people think… Just the frying preparation is a little bit tedious .. That all! Everything else is the known process of the minced meat and béchamel.
