Ingredients
- 3 long thin eggplants
- 325 g ground beef
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup water
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- salt
- pepper
- chopped parsley for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onion and saute them on medium heat for about 4 minutes, then add the ground beef, and garlic to the pan, and continue to saute for about 8 minutes. After the ground beef turns brown, add the remaining ingredients to the pan. Cook for a few minutes until it boils; turn off the heat, and set it aside.
- Peel the eggplants to form thick lines. Cut them into 0.5 cm/¼ inches discs. Heat the frying oil in a large pan. Fry the eggplant discs until they are soft and slightly golden brown on both sides, for about 2-3 minutes for each side.
- Transfer the fried eggplant discs to the baking tray. Pour the ground beef mixture on top of the fried eggplant discs.
- Bake it in the preheated oven at 190°C/375°F for about 45 minutes. Take the moussaka out of the oven, then transfer it to the serving plate.
- Serve warm or hot. You can sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving.
