I shall therefore be eating mostly leaves for this week.

chocolate teacake
tomato and red pepper soup

wholemeal bread
cucumber
brown rice
meatballs
broccoli
Pink Lady apple.
2 crisp breads with phili and salmon on.

Mango, dried apricots, some weird berries, nuts
Chicken breast with salsa
Nuts
wholewheat pasta with tomato and sausage sauce.
large bag of maltesers
blueberries
apple
3 large eggplants
1 kg of extra lean ground beef
4 tbsp of olive oil
2 large onions, diced
3 bay leaves
6 cloves of minced garlic
1 can of plum tomatoes, pureed (or Pomodoro)
1/2 cup white wine
salt, pepper
1 tsp dried basil
3 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cinnamon (Go easy on it. Too much and you'll overpower the dish)
Peel, wash and cut the eggplants into large, thin slices. Salt and them to drain for at least an hour. Pat them dry, brush them with olive oil, grill them on high heat (3 minutes per side) and reserve.
Prepare the meat sauce by pouring olive oil into a sauce pan and add your onions, garlic and bay leaves. Reduce to medium-low and cook until the onions are translucent. Add your beef and brown. Season with salt and pepper.
Add your wine and reduce until there's barely any liquid. Add your tomato sauce, oregano, dried basil. Simmer until you have a thick meat sauce. Adjust seasoning and add your cinnamon. Remove the bay leaves and set aside your sauce.
Béchamel Sauce
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
5 cups of warm milk (no lighter than 2%)
4 eggs
3/4 cup of Kefalotiri or Romano cheese
salt to taste
pinch of grated nutmeg
Put the butter in a pot to melt. Add the flour, stirring quickly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. Stir & cook the flour/butter mixture to a golden colour.
Pour in the milk while stirring and then and salt to taste, stirring the mixture constantly. When it thickens, turn off the heat and add your cheese and slowly pour in your eggs, continue stirring.
Add your nutmeg and stir.
Assembles
In a large casserole, place one layer of eggplant on the bottom then spread some
meat sauce over top and sprinkle with some grated cheese.
Add the second layer of eggplant and again the meat sauce and the grated cheese.
Pour the Béchamel Sauce on top and sprinkle more grated cheese to help with a crisp, golden surface. Bake in a pre-heated 375F oven for 30-40 minutes or when top is golden brown.
Allow the Moussaka to rest for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
Got that?
Best,
Poppi :wave:
