Just popped a picture of my alternative version of moussaka on facebook and friends requested the recipe, so here we are…
Ooops! sorry, had a brainstorm and typed 1 litre of water in the mince! only need about 350ml oooops
Ingredients
1 onion sliced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
200-250 grams frozen veggie mince
1 cup frozen edamame beans or peas
1 good tablespoon sundried tomato paste (most supermarkets keep stock this now)
2 tablespoons tomato puree
6-8 cherry tomatoes (basic cheap ones!)
1 mushroom stock cube (I used Kallo)
½ teaspoon turmeric
Little ground black pepper
6 potatoes, thinly sliced
1 large aubergine, thickly sliced
Little olive oil to brush aubergines
Method
- Saute onion with garlic in olive oil
- Add turmeric, tomato puree, sundried tomato paste, cherry tomatoes, veggie mince, edamame beans and black pepper
- Add about 350ml of water and dissolved stock cube; cook on low for about 25-30 minutes until the sauce is thick (not too thick though)
- While the sauce is cooking, lightly brush the aubergine slices and grill on both sides until golden
- In a dish pour the mince sauce, top with layer of aubergines and then with several layers of the sliced potatoes
- Cover and cook on 200C/400F/Gas 6 for an hour
- Uncover and pop under grill to brown the potatoes a tad – enjoy
Oh my goodness this sounds FANTASTIC.. cannot wait to try it
