Day 29 EXTRA - Moussaka on a Monday 26/03/2012

Cookery stuff ! Whatever next ??? Well i've never bought an aubergine before never mind cooked one of the things.

That good old traditional Spanish dish of Moussaka (er....yeah right).



First get to the market and buy one of these beauties - they're about 23 cents

Then find the kitchen, the cooker is that thing with 4 circles on the top.

1 - stick a couple of onions and some garlic in a frying pan with some olive oil and fry for 5 minutes

2 - add a pack of mince and fry until brown



3 - add some white wine, herbs and chopped tomatoes and simmer for 20 minutes

4 - while that's happening have a swig of the vino for yourself and on to the next bit

5 - slice an aubergine, sprinkle with salt and fry in another pan for a few minutes

6 - slice and part boil some potatoes for 5 to 10 minutes

   is it looking something like this yet ?



7 - repeat step 4

8 - lower everything off the heat and get another pan and melt some butter, stick in some flour to make a paste, then some milk, cheese and an egg and stir on a low heat for a bit
mines like this - how bout yours?



9 - in a large oven dish put a layer of mince, then a layer of potatoes, then aubergine, then mince etc... finish off with a layer of mince then pour sauce all over it and add a cover of cheese and bake for 25minutes






While its cooking you've got a shed load of washing up to be getting on with - ok maybe some of mines from earlier in the week but if you hurry up you can do step 4 again



repeat step 4 until the 25 minutes is up and then eat - nom nom - nosh nosh
