Moussaka


This recipe is a Greek classic, but I’ve added the little hint of my creativity ... and pinch of my personal hedonistic beliefs ... every measurement can be +/- 20% (depends what you prefer more, but all ingredients must be in this meal)






Ingredients:
potatoes (1kg) ... yams (1kg) ... zucchini (1) ... minced meat - lamb or beef (600gr)
eggs (4) ... cheese - mozzarella or ricotta (250gr) and cheddar (250gr) ... bacon (200gr) ...

tomato (1) ... pepper - anyone except green (15) ... carrot (1) ... onion white (1)
cloves garlic (1) ... cilantro (1bunch) ... plain yogurt natural (½)

olive oil ... salt ... paper ... chili powder ... curry powder ... ginger ... coriander ... white wine (300ml).

Preparation:
Bake peppers at 250 degrees, and when they are finished, put them in a dish with lid to cool for 30 minutes, and then peel them.
Cut the bacon into small pieces and put in to a big deep pan and heat.
Slice onion, carrot, garlic, tomato and put with minced meat in pan.
Add all spices, and when the meat is brown , add finely chopped cilantro, one egg, and 150ml of wine.
Slice potatoes and yams, and fry them in pan 5min in every side.
Slice zucchini and fry them in pan 2min in every side.
Grease rectangular pan with olive oil and arrange - potatoes, seasoned with salt, peppers, meat, mozzarella, zucchini, salt, yams, salt, potatoes and salt.
Pour rest of the wine on the top and put pan in the oven at 250 degrees.
Heat approximately 1 hour.
Mix eggs, cheddar, yogurt and salt and put on the top of moussaka.
Put moussaka back in the oven and heat another 5min.
Remove from oven and cover with foil.
Let stand at least 30minutes (if you have time - 1hour).

Tip:
It's better if you prepare peppers 1 day earlier. Store them in non-metallic dish and keep in the fridge.
