  • Hi folks,
    Welcome back to what’s for tea! And I hope you’re having a great day so far!
    Tonight for tea, I made a delicious Greek Moussaka! This is absolutely beautiful…and a fab combination of ingredients! Scrumptious layers of fried potato, aubergines, rich minced beef ragu & smothered in a velvety béchamel sauce :)
    This will make enough for 8 generous servings.
    I’ve listed everything I used below…in case you want to give it a go for yourself.
    Thanks for stopping by and until I see you next, take care x
    ____________________________________________________________________
    I Used-
    2 or 3 Aubergines (thickly sliced)
    3 Large baking potatoes (peeled & thickly sliced)
    1 Large onion (finely diced)
    2 Garlic cloves (finely diced)
    1 pound (24oz) Minced beef or lamb
    3 Tablespoons Olive oil
    2 Tablespoons tomato puree
    240ml (1cup) Beef stock
    120ml (1/2 cup) Red wine
    260g (8oz) Passata or canned chopped tomatoes
    1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon
    1 Teaspoon oregano
    1 Litre (4.2 cups) milk
    120g (1 stick) Butter
    120g (1 cup) Plain/all purpose flour
    100g (3oz) Parmesan cheese (grated)
    1/2 Teaspoon nutmeg
    2 Egg yolks
    Vegetable oil for frying
    Salt & pepper to taste
    **I served mine with roasted Mediterranean vegetables, but salad works too**

  • @jamesgoacher2433
    @jamesgoacher2433 4 года назад +4

    Oh that looked wonderful and as usual you have made it doable. I love Aubergine. I have some growing and was planning to used them for a Parmigana type thing, if there are enough but just fried for breakfast is good (with other stuff of course). This is definitely a make for me and I agree with the leave it till later philosophy. I think this, like Lasagne gains something. Thank you.

    • @WhatsForTea
      @WhatsForTea  4 года назад +2

      Oh this is very *doable* James :) Takes a wee bit of time...but worth it! This makes 8 portions but if you leave it till the next day, it cuts very neatly into squares for freezing x

    • @jamesgoacher2433
      @jamesgoacher2433 4 года назад +1

      I'm glad you mentioned the cutting into squares thing beacuse I had been contemplating making individual Fiol Dish ones but cutting up is far easier. I do that with Lasgne. Freezers are Chocka-Bloc at the moment so...need to wait a while.

    Hi there! I love your videos! I would suggest peeling your aubergine so you can skip the salting and rinsing. Most of the bitter taste comes from the peel. Thanks for all you do to bring us these lovely videos!

    Hey Cheryl ( hope I spelt that right ) this is a bit of an odd comment but bare with me. I live in Vietnam and stumbled across your videos about 8 months ago. Originally from Dundee, it was proper comforting to hear you talk during your videos, you have very similar tone/expressions to many of my family members. Just got back to Carnoustie to visit my mum and I made this recipe. Jesus Christ it was delicious and went down a storm with the rest of the family. Just wanted to say thanks for always making home not feel so far away whilst also providing great content. Big ❤️

    I made the mousakka and it was very good. It took a me so long though! And my meat sauce hadn’t boiled down after 45 minutes-I will try again using my scale instead of using the American measurements. Still, it was very tasty, if a little runny.

    I saw you pick up those potatoes a second time. Cheryl did you eat one for a chef's treat? Perhaps a little dippy dip in the bechamel? HMMMM? You can tell me Cheryl it will be our little secret. A little treatee poo? Of course the side veg need mushrooms! Looks good.

    Hi Cheryl....nice dish...oh...btw....been meaning to ask you a question.....I see you use a slow cooker from time to time....I notice when I go to use mine after a few weeks...The whole crockpot is covered in mould....due to tiny wee cracks in the enamel....washes off fine and then you can't really see the tiny cracks unless you look closely....does yrs do this .....I don't want to use it anymore now as I feel there must be food residue in this tiny cracks and that means germs....its relatively new....only used it a few times.....tesco own make.....cheers

      Hi Julie :) No I've never noticed that on mine...mine gets used quite frequently though and the crock pot gets washed at a high heat in the dishwasher. Mine is a Morphy Richards and I'm now on my second one :) These last for years with no problems! My handle has melted, but that was my own fault :D
