Direcciones
- This Jewish-style moussaka does not have meat since the kosher laws prohibit mixing meat and lowfat milk together. The result is a complete vegetarian dish with considerable dimension.
- 1. Cut each eggplant lengthwise into 3 equal slices. Sprinkle with the salt and let stand for 20 min, Dry the slices on paper towels to absorb the liquid which accumulates. Set aside.
- 2. Heat 1 Tbsp. of the oil in a pan and stir-fry the garlic over moderate heat till golden brown, about 2 min. Add in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water and mix well. Simmer the sauce over low heat till it becomes thickened, about 15 min.
- 3. Heat the remaining 3 Tbsp. of oil in a skillet. Dip the eggplant slices into the beaten Large eggs and fry over moderate heat for 2 min. Fry all the eggplant slices this way.
- 4. Assemble the moussaka in this manner. Put a layer of eggplant in a heatproof glass or possibly metal baking dish. Cover with about 1/2 c. of the cooked tomato sauce. Sprinkle with about 2 Tbsp. of the grated cheese. Cover this another layer of eggplant, then sauce, then cheese. The last layer (there should be three) ends with the cheese. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 1/2 hour.
- Serve hot.
- Serves 6 with spaghetti or possibly other dishes.
