Greek Moussaka
Another Summer Recipe utilizing the gifts of our garden!
Our zucchinis, eggplants and herbs are used in this Perfectly Creamy Greek Moussaka recipe 🥹😋
Have you ever tried Greek Moussaka?
Moussaka is a popular dish that is primarily associated with Greek and Mediterranean cuisine.
The modern Greek moussaka typically consists of layers of sautéed eggplant, ground lamb or beef meat, onions, tomatoes, herbs such as oregano and cinnamon and some versions also consist of potato and zucchini layers. It also started being topped with a rich béchamel sauce. After baking it is allowed to cool and set before serving, enhancing its flavors.
The rich and hearty flavors, combined with the comforting layers of ingredients, have made moussaka a classic and enduring dish in Mediterranean cuisine, often accompanied by a Greek Salad and crusty bread. 😋
In my recipe I use potato and zucchini layers with a rich bechamel and cheese.
My Moussaka is always served with Greek salad from my garden 💚
To bake Moussaka (more detailed recipe in the link in my bio)
Preheat oven at 200C
For the bechamel:
Melt 200gr butter in a pan
Whisk in 150gr flour.
Slowly whisk in 1lt milk, salt and pepper until it thickens.
For the veggie layers:
Cut 3 zucchinis and 3 boiled potatoes to rounds.
Stir fry the potatoes and zucchini.
If using eggplants, first heavily salt them and let them sit for 30mins. Then wash away the salt and dry before stir frying. This will remove its bitterness.
For the beef layer:
Sautee 2 garlic cloves and 1 onion cut in cubes. Add 600gr minced beef and cook until brown. Add Ground Cinnamon, Oregano, Basil, Spearmint, Salt. Then some tomato sauce and 15gr sugar.
Cook for 2-5 minutes. Cool and whisk in 300gr of the bechamel.
Add the layers as follows:
Potato
Zucchini
Eggplant/again zucchini
Minced Beef
Bechamel
Kefalotyri, Gouda, Paprika
Bake in preheated oven for 40 mins or u til golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 1hour and enjoy!
