Moussaka
A comforting Greek classic featuring seasoned ground beef, tender eggplant, and a creamy yogurt-parmesan topping, all baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
- 1⅛ lb ground beef
- 1 large eggplant
- ⅔ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese
- 14½ oz canned diced tomatoes
- 4 tbsp tomato paste
- ¾ lb potatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Steps
- Preheat grill to high. Brown ground beef in a deep ovenproof frying pan over high heat for 5 minutes, breaking it apart.
- While beef cooks, prick the eggplant with a fork and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes until soft. Slice the cooked eggplant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, beaten egg, and Parmesan cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Stir diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and diced potatoes into the browned beef. Season with salt and pepper and heat through.
- Smooth the surface of the beef mixture in the pan. Arrange the sliced eggplant evenly over the beef.
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the eggplant layer, smoothing it out evenly.
- Grill the moussaka for 5-10 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden brown.
