Made one of my favorite dishes, and it's not half bad!
Serves 4. Took an hour and a half with all the prep.
Ingredients
- Stew
- 500g minced beef
- 1 large eggplant, sliced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 400g can of diced tomatoes
- 4 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes in oil, finely chopped
- 500g potatoes, peeled, diced and boiled in water until soft
- olive oil
- ground black pepper
- oregano
- ground cinnamon
- Topping
- 150g greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 6 tbsp grated grana padano or parmesan
Method
1.
- Spread a small amount of olive oil on a deep baking pan, add the eggplant slices, then bake in an oven at 200°C until browned.
- Heat olive oil in a pan, and sauté the onions and garlic.
- Add the beef and keep stirring until it's browned.
- Add the diced tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, cooked potatoes and heat through.
- Add salt, pepper, oregano and cinnamon. "To taste."
2.
- Beat the egg in a dish.
- Mix in the yogurt and the cheese.
- Take the eggplant slices from the baking pan and pour the stew in their place. Smooth the surface with a spoon.
- Lay the eggplant slices over the stew.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the eggplant, and smooth out evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 200°C or until the topping has settled and turned golden.
Notes
You'll probably want something with the moussaka - rice, salad or whatever. We had it with one roti each and it was fine.
