Zubereitung von Melitzanes Moussaka

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice eggplant 1/4 inch thick, leaving the skin on. Sprinkle generously with 2 teaspoons of salt and place in a colander to drain for at least 1 hour (this removes excess moisture).
  3. Pat eggplant slices dry with paper towels.
  4. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry eggplant slices in batches until lightly browned on both sides. Set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil until softened.
  6. Add ground meat and brown, breaking it up with a spoon.
  7. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  8. While the meat simmers, prepare the béchamel sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.
  9. Gradually whisk in milk until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens (about 1 minute).
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of grated cheese, nutmeg/cinnamon, salt, and pepper to taste.
  11. Grease a large square baking dish with olive oil.
  12. Layer half of the fried eggplant in the baking dish.
  13. Top with half of the meat sauce.
  14. Repeat layers: eggplant, meat sauce, remaining eggplant.
  15. Pour the béchamel sauce over the eggplant. Whisk in the beaten egg and spread evenly.
  16. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top.
  17. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  18. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
