Can anyone give me their easy moussaka recipe? I have to make it today and am full of head cold, it’s snowing and I don’t feel like doing it but these aubergines need to be used today! (I have ready made white sauce in jars if that helps: which is really rare for me). Thankyou muchly xx
Sliced aubergines, sliced cooked/roasted potatoes, mince with a tomato sauce, onions and cinnamon. Layer up like a lasagne and top with your white sauce (mixed with egg yolk) and put in an oven dish for 40 minutes at 180. Yum!
Lamb mince, onions, garlic, tinned toms, tom purée, nutmeg, mint, paprika, cinnamon, oregano, lamb stock cube, splash of wine. Layer up with griddled aubergine and top with homemade kefalotiri sauce (or Parmesan / Grana Padano if you can't get kefalotiri).
To all my Ragus I add a tbs of my homemade feta, dill and sundried tomato pesto which thickens and gives amazing flavour. Recipe available on request.
WBM, it's useful if you have a coffee grinder or really good small electric mill.
I start by grinding some fresh bay leaves from the garden. I add some Parmesan and grind again. Then add some pistachios (or pinenuts, cashews or walnuts) and grind again. Then add a few garlic cloves, a few cubes of feta and a few sundried tomatoes and some chopped dill, grinding after each new ingredient is added. Add some water or olive oil to loosen the mix before grinding until you have a thickish paste.
