Well, what's for dinner tonight? How about this great moussaka with ground beef and potatoes. Now I know traditionally moussaka has eggplant in it, but my version has potatoes and beef. I'm not a big fan of eggplant, though I will share a great recipe of this eggplant salad with you. Now I'm not sure if moussaka is traditionally Greek or Arabic, but my version, I guess you could call it a Romanian version of moussaka. So here are the ingredients you'll need for my version of moussaka:
Now, slice the potatoes about 1/2 cm wide. Grab a 9x13 pan and coat it lightly with olive oil. Now we start layering, start with a layer of potatoes, we can probably make 3 layers of potatoes, but at least 2 layers, so one layer of potatoes, one layer of the meat, then repeat until finished, the top layer should be potatoes.
Mix the yogurt with the beaten egg and spread over the potatoes, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Now of course instead of the yogurt you could make a bechamel sauce, but this is just as delicious, and easier.
Now you may say, Jo, this isn't really easy, seems like a lot of steps, but really if you think about it, it's quite simple, meat and potatoes and you layer them. It's a bit time consuming because you have to wait for the potatoes to boil, but come on, trust me it will be worth it in the end.
Enjoy!
