|
Ground cinnamon, sugar & crushed red pepper flakes will season the meat sauce
|
|
|
Spanish onions, diced, will be reduced to maximum sweetness
|
|
|
Gently begin to sweat the onions...
|
|
|
...watch carefully as they begin to caramelize...
|
|
|
...golden is a nice color - and the onions will be sweet without being bitter
|
|
|
Cook the meat just until it turns from pink to grey
|
|
|
The tomatoes in their juice will add body and texture to the dish
|
|
|
The onions and tomatoes join the meat and then...
|
|
|
We need to reduce this sauce to almost dry, lightly boiling away the wine and liquids - which all become flavors
|
|
|
Then we add the chopped parsley
|
|
|
Flour, milk, eggs & butter - for a basic white sauce
|
|
|
oh, yeah - the nutmeg and grated Parmesan will add that special touch to the white sauce
|
|
|
Select firm, unblemished, fresh eggplant - seldom a worry about potential bitterness then
|
|
|
lightly brush each 1/2" slice with olive oil
|
|
|
I like to grill the eggplant for the additional 'smokey' flavor
|
|
|
If you do each side twice, the eggplant will be nicelt prepared for the oven - and it will look good, if anyone cares besides me...
|
|
|
heat your white sauce ingredients, whisking steadily, until it thickens
|
|
|
Pour the white sauce evenly over the filling - be sure to get some all around the edge of the pan
|
|
|
Bake the dish until the top is nicely browned
|
|
|
When you cut into the moussaka, you will release an absolutely mouth-watering aroma!
|
|
|
Almost as enjoyable as a trip around the Meditteranean - and far less expensive - moussaka!
