2. Where it comes from?
The Egyptian version of moussaka is
made from layers of fried eggplant
immersed in tomato sauce and then
baked. A layer of seasoned cooked
ground beef is usually added between the
eggplant before baking. The dish can be
served hot but is usually chilled for a day
or so to improve the taste.
3. How can you cook it?
First you put the lamb, onion, garlic, oregano,
mint, bay and cinnamon in a large heavy-based
frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 10
minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up
the meat.Then stir in the flour and a good pinch
of salt and pepper.Finally add the wine, tomatoes
and tomato purée and bring to a simmer and you
will have a Moussaka.
