There are many ways to do moussaka.One could use lamb, beef, chicken, etc. We like to do it vegetarian- just with organic eggplants, potatoes, zucchini and tomato sauce with lentils.
One could then cook it in the form of a casserole or dish out as squares. The man has decided on his preferred presentation style. He did it as individual servings in the shape of an abalone.
I just thought that the result looked good on the plate. Definitely appetizing.
It's one of my favorite eats at home.
I love moussaka but it seems difficult to cook at home, is it?
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add. Your man is very talented in the kitchen. That is exactly how it is served in a Greek restaurant here.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom just said to say thank you - she had it again today and it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteit looks good! the presentation is great too! =p
ReplyDeletewah, so pro! i gave up doing moussaka because mine usually turn out to mushy.
ReplyDeletemuffingirl: not really. it's quite simple (at least to what i'm seeing!) to cook up. hehehe. thanks for the vote of confidence in him!

sinlady: how abt sherpherd's pie and lasagna?
i can do a mean shephard's/meat pie and awesome lasagna. i think i don't 'cure" the eggplant right for moussaka.
ReplyDeletesinlady: i know!!how about lightly pan-frying the eggplants first?
ReplyDeleteShe does :) But she loved the moussaka and she doesn't even usually like it.
ReplyDeleteGolly... your man must have been a 3 star michelin chef in his previous lifetime? Drool... (over the food and not the man as I am straight)..
ReplyDelete"in the shape of an abalone"? haha, that's acute description (though pretty accurate going by the pic!)
ReplyDeletedawn: that's something! :))
ReplyDeletecool insider: hHEHEHHEHE. he cooks to destress. it's almost like, the more stressed up he is at work, the better the food turns out during the weekends!
beanbean: i didn't know what else to describe it as! heheheh.
