Moussaka for lazy day South from Bulgaria is the famous country that once ruled the world, motherland of arts, mathematics, philosophy, medicine and modern culture, Greece. Most of you have probably heard about the beautiful islands, with pristine clear waters and sands, stones and shells. Moussaka is one of those things I've never bothered to make before because it seems too complicated and time consuming, like lasagne. But, also like lasagne, I really enjoy eating it, so after having some delicious moussaka on holiday with friends recently, I asked for the recipe.
Steps to make Moussaka for the lazy:
- Sauté the mince and the finely chopped onion in a medium sized pot with a bit of water, deglaze with the wine, add 3 tbsp oil, the tomato, salt and pepper and boil for about half an hour on low heat. When it is ready, crumble the feta cheese in the pot.
- Oil a medium sized deep baking tray. Layer the potatoes cut into slices (about 1 cm thick).
- Wash the eggplants, salt them, cut them into strips and layer them on the tray over the potatoes.
- Cover the tray with aluminum foil and place in a hot oven for about half an hour (or until the potatoes are tender).
- Take the tray off the oven and spread the mince mix on top.
- In the same pot (after rinsing it a bit, of course) prepare the bechamel. Melt the butter over low heat (take care that it doesn't brown!!!) and add the flour, whisking constantly.
- When the ingredients combine add the milk while cold, raise the heat and whisk until it thickens.
- Remove from heat, add the spices and the egg yolks dissolved in 2 tbsp milk and spread in the baking tray, over the rest of the ingredients.
- Bake the moussaka until the bechamel is golden brown.
It's easy, said the friend who'd made it, it's a Delia. Assemble the moussaka: Place an aubergine slice on the bottom of each ramekin and top with lamb mixture. The traditional Greek moussaka recipe calls for either lamb mince or a mix of lamb and beef. But if you can't handle its strong flavour and prefer a lighter version try substituting with good quality beef or veal mince. Tip into a bowl and set aside.
