Cooking method
First you need to prepare the vegetables:
- peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes;
- peel and finely chop the onion;
- peel and grate carrots on a coarse grater;
- peel the bell pepper from the seeds and cut into small cubes;
- peel the garlic and chop it;
- peel the zucchini and cut it into small cubes too;
- wash the parsley, dry it and chop it finely.
Then you can start preparing the basics. To do this, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and lightly fry the minced meat over medium heat, stirring it. When the meat changes color, add onions and carrots to the pan and continue frying for another 5 minutes. Now you can add tomato paste and bell pepper, mix everything well, pepper, salt and mix again. Reduce the heat under the pan, crush the meat and vegetable mass with a spatula and leave to languish (while the sauce is being prepared).
A saucepan or a saucepan with a thick bottom is used to prepare the sauce. So, you need to put a saucepan on medium heat, put butter, and when it melts a little, add flour and knead intensively with a whisk. When the butter is combined with flour, you can gradually add milk, stirring constantly with a whisk until a homogeneous consistency is formed. After that, reduce the heat and, without ceasing to constantly stir, bring the sauce to a slight thickening, add salt, pepper and set aside to cool slightly.
Season the meat and vegetable mixture with garlic and parsley. In the sauce base cooled to 60 degrees, beat the egg and mix well, and also add a third of the cheese grated on a fine grater.
Turn on the oven to warm up to 200 degrees. Grease a deep baking dish with vegetable oil and start laying layers of moussaka:
1 layer - potatoes;
2 layer - squash;
3 layer - meat-vegetable mixture;
4 layer - sauce;
5 layer - hard cheese.
In order for the lower layers of vegetables to be soaked with sauce, when pouring it, you need to make small funnels in the moussaka layers, which are then smoothed with a spatula.
Cover the mold with foil and send it to the oven for 50-65 minutes.
Serve moussaka with zucchini on the table hot in serving plates, optionally garnished with herbs.
Bon appetit!
