@debs_homecooking: Easy Moussaka 🥔🍆 Moussaka meets Papoutsakia! If there’s anything I would order on a Greek menu it’s always a moussaka period!! I would take hours making Moussaka but this is a lazy moussaka version, cuts down on time but definitely not on the flavor!! Here’s the recipe 💕 * 3 Large Eggplant sliced 🍆 * 2 Large Potatoes diced & air fried 🥔 Meat Sauce * 500 grams beef mince * 1 Onion diced 🧅 * 2 Garlic cloves diced🧄 * 1/2 Red Wine 🍷 * 1 Tsp Salt * 1 Tsp ground Pepper * 1/2 Tsp Allspice * 1 Cinnamon Stick * 3 Bay Leaves 🍂 * 2 Tbs Tomato Paste * 1 Cup water Bechamel * 50grams butter 🧈 * 4 Tbsp Plain Flour (gf works well too) * 2 cups Milk warmed * 1/4 cup grated Kefalograviera cheese or Parmesan * 1/4 tsp Nutmeg powder Turn oven on to 190c fan forced. With eggplant slice in half and make crisscross cuts and on a non stick baking pan place your eggplant and drizzle olive oil and salt and give it a little massage. Place face down and bake for about 30 minutes until they have softened. In the meantime start your meat sauce, in a pot add onion and garlic to a good drizzle of olive oil and sauté on medium heat for couple of minutes before adding the mince, break it down and add your spices cook for another 2 minutes for spices to become fragrant. Add wine, tomato paste and water and let that simmer until most of the water is reduced. Drizzle olive oil and salt on cubes of potatoes and fry until crispy. Finishing off with the bechamel sauce in a small pot add butter and melt, add flour and cook through for 30 seconds before you add your warm milk slowly and mixing at the same time. When it’s thickened slightly turn heat off and add cheese and nutmeg. When the eggplant is soft remove them and squish the center of them with the back of a fork and mush it up. Add cooked potatoes gems in each little boat, followed by the meat sauce, béchamel and a sprinkle of cheese over the top. I like to turn the grill on now and place them back in the oven to marry together and melt the cheese for about 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with some parsley 🌿 Hope you really enjoy this one!
