Moussaka

 MOUSSAKA

We love Greek food. Our favourite restuarant in Munich is Paros. They do a great Moussaka. It's been nearly 10 years since our Greek Oddesey in Homer. It's time to get back. We had to cancel a sailing trip in Greece in 2020 and I'm not even sure we will get there in 2021. Greece has annouced in the papers this weekend that they will allow summer visitors who have had a vaccine. I think this will be neccassary as tourism and travel open up again.

Lockdown Day 318

Addo Elephant Park

Zoom chats are back! Our friends in Europe and the UK are back in full lockdown with no oppurtunities to socialise and very bad weather. We are still hanging out in the bush while the Covid second wave eases.

Mylene had cooked Moussaka so I decided to complete this post from months ago. So delicious and a hearty meal for winter. If you are short of time, here's a few tips...

1. This recipe is made with lamb mince ( more authentic ) but you can use beef. I always make a big batch of ragu and keep portions in the freezer. ( the freezer in the back of the cruiser has been stocked for over three months now. )

2. You can use store bought sauce and just grate the cheeses into it and add eggs.

3. Skip the frying of the Eggplant especially if the ragu is a little saucy.
