In response to joannie10 - Moussaka
Not really a question, I know, but here's my recipe for Moussaka:
2 aubergines, peeled & sliced into approx 1/4" rounds
1 large onion, peeled & chopped
approx 6 tbsp olive oil (you may need more)
1lb minced beef or lamb (I hate minced lamb, so I use beef and it's lovely!)
salt & pepper to taste
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 tbsp tomato puree
1/2pt beef stock (use an Oxo cube)
1 tsp dried, mixed herbs (optional)
approx 3/4pt white sauce
1 lge egg
Fry the onion in a little olive oil, in a large saucepan, till soft, not coloured. Add the mince and brown it. Stir in the tomato puree, salt & pepper (to taste) & add the stock. Mix well, then add the chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 30mins.
In a large frying pan, heat enough oil to just cover the base and fry the aubergine slices till golden (they will absorb a lot of oil, so fry them gently and tip the pan to run the oil off). Drain them on kitchen paper.
Put a layer of aubergines in the base of an ovenproof casserole, then a layer of mince & so on, ending up with a layer of aubergines. Make your white sauce, season and then beat in the egg. Pour this over the moussaka and bake in the oven, Gas 4, 180C for about 40 min or till the top is risen and golden.
This is very rich and should serve 4, with a green salad. Enjoy!! K xx
