Beef Moussaka image

This low-fat casserole relies on spices, tomato paste, wine and vinegar for flavor instead of the ton of cheese (and fat) found in regular moussaka recipes.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Cooking spray
1 pound Asian eggplants, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon powdered garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
2 cups 1-percent milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch nutmeg
Kosher salt
1 cup grated Parmesan
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Toss the eggplants, potatoes, olive oil, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl, then spread the vegetables on the baking sheet. Roast until tender, about 45 minutes, tossing the vegetables about halfway through. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the Meat Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste, oregano, cinnamon, garlic and ginger; stir quickly to toast spices evenly. Once fragrant, add 1/2 cup water to the pan and stir to combine, scraping up any brown bits. Add the beef to the pan, stirring with a wooden spoon to break it up, and cook until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the wine, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the meat is fully cooked and the juices are reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley and set aside.
  • Make the Bechamel: Put the milk and flour in a small saucepan and whisk until the flour is dissolved. Place the pan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the mixture comes to a boil; continue to whisk until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Remove from the heat and whisk in 3/4 cup of the Parmesan; set aside.
  • Assemble the Moussaka: Spray a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the eggplants and potatoes in the bottom of the dish, layer the meat sauce evenly over the vegetables, top with the bechamel and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until the top is browned and slightly puffed, 35 to 40 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: The unbaked casserole can be covered and refrigerated overnight before baking. The baked casserole can be frozen for up to 2 weeks; cover with foil and reheat at 350 degrees F until hot, 35 to 45 minutes.

Provided by Angela Nilsen

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2½ tbsp olive oil
1 onion , chopped
2 plump garlic cloves , finely chopped
2 large carrots (350g total weight), diced
450g 5% fat minced beef
100ml white wine
1 tsp ground cinnamon , plus extra
¼ tsp ground allspice
400g can plum tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato purée
1heaped tbsp chopped oregano leaves
2 good handfuls chopped flat-leaf parsley , plus extra to garnish
3 aubergines (about 750g/1lb 10oz total weight), ends trimmed
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 eggs
1 tbsp cornflour
300g 2% Greek yogurt
50g parmesan , grated
halved cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced red onion and rocket salad

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, wide sauté pan. Tip in the onion and garlic, then fry for 6-8 mins until turning golden. Add the carrots and fry for 2 mins more. Stir the meat into the pan, breaking it up as you stir. Cook and stir over a high heat until the meat is no longer pink. Pour in the wine and briefly cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the cinnamon and allspice. Tip in the tomatoes, tomato purée and 1 tbsp water (mixed with any juices left in the can), then stir to break up the tomatoes. Season with some pepper, add all the oregano and half the parsley, cover, then simmer on a low heat for 50 mins, stirring occasionally. Season to taste. Mix in the remaining parsley. Can be done a day ahead and refrigerated overnight.
  • While the meat cooks (unless you are doing this a day ahead) prepare the aubergines. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/ gas 6. Brush a little of the remaining oil onto 2 large baking sheets. Mix the rest of the oil with the lemon juice. Slice the aubergines into 1cm thick lengthways slices, then lay them on the oiled baking sheets. Brush with the oil and lemon mix, then season with pepper. Bake for 20-25 mins until soft, then set aside. Lower oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
  • Spread 2 big spoonfuls of the meat mixture on the bottom of an ovenproof dish (about 28 x 20 x 6cm deep). Lay the aubergine slices on top, slightly overlapping. Spoon the rest of the meat mixture on top. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Slacken the cornflour with a little of the yogurt, stir in the rest of the yogurt, then mix this into the eggs with half the cheese. Season with pepper. Pour and spread this over the meat to cover it. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, a little cinnamon and a grating of pepper. Bake for 50 mins-1 hr until bubbling and golden.
  • Leave moussaka to settle for 8-10 mins, then scatter over some chopped parsley and cut into squares. Serve with a salad of tomato, red onion and rocket.
