Vegetarian Moussaka

HI all
Have tonight made a vegetarian Moussaka using vegemince as meat replacement.


Ingredients I have used are

1 medium eggplant (Aubergine) finely sliced and grilled
1 medium onion diced fairly finely
1 large clove garlic
some smoked paprika about 1/8 teaspoon (aprox)
11/2 Tbsp tomato paste (aprox)
a little cayenne pepper for heat (optional)
some salt and pepper
1 tin chopped tomato
1/4 cup water
2 medium potato par boiled and sliced
2 tsp italian mixed herbs
1 jar of of white sauce
and small bag of grated cheese
some oil

first slice and grill the eggplant
then in separate frying pan add some oil and the onion and garlic and gently fried to soft and slightly golden then add tomato paste and cook out for further 1minute or so
then add canned tomatoes with the water, herbs and spices some salt and pepper cook for 5 minutes to develop flavours and let them meld
add your vegemince and cook for further 10 minutes until nice thick sauce check your seasoning

slice your potatoes I left the skin on..

Now it's just time to assemble your moussaka
Layer it up with your potato, eggplant, tomato/vegemince sauce and white sauce and some cheese as if layering a lasagne in whatever order you like it's your meal have some fun
finish with the white sauce though and add some cheese to the top.
Bake in over for 30-40 minutes until golden and bubbly and all cooked through

enjoy
