It’s been a while since I’ve had moussaka and I don’t recall it containing potato but the recipe I had seemed to call for it and the entire thing turned out rather well.

Moussaka - 1

I’m not sure I had a reasonable amount of lamb mince either but it seemed to work well enough in the pan, though perhaps I could have cut the potatoes into smaller pieces.

Moussaka - 2Moussaka - 3

The recipe also called for parmesan which I didn’t have so I added some sort of smoked cheese with paprika to the egg, cheese and Greek yogurt mix. I called for garlic and herbs too which I entirely forgot not that it made all that much difference.

Moussaka - 4

One handy recommendation the recipe suggested was microwaveing the aubergine before frying it to reduce the amount of oil it would soak up while frying, but it did recommend 3 to 5 minutes in the microwave which seemed a little much so I reduced it to 2. And though I did prick the thing all over with a fork before I put it in the microwave I was still expecting it to explode.

The final disk then went under the grill till it gained a reasonable colour in its rather poorly sized pan and while a slightly smaller pan or more aubergine might have allowed me to create a more regular sort of upper later the entire dish didn’t suffer much for a lack of it.
