Moussaka

Athens, Thessalonica and Patra say sticks. That includes my mother in law and her sister. Don't mess with Greek mums

Beware Greeks bearing gits

You're all mad. Moussaka takes FAR too long to make - hours upon hours upon hours. Buy it and go for a bike ride

I spent some months in Cyprus about 20 years ago and loved the moussaka. I have not had it for ages - must have a go sometime. IMO, the aubergines are an essential element of the food and I would think replacing it with potato would ruin the flavour. On the other hand, you could replace the aubergine with pasta and the lamb with beef and make a nice lasagne.

Si' Si', melanzane alla parmigiana, buonissime! Shame about the calories, did you go for an extra ride to compensate?

 

[gavintc]

There are some excellent melanzane recipes - mostly very high in calories.

Now make your tomato sauce in the usual way, adding salt, pepper and the basil towards the end.​

Half a teaspoon of sugar just to lift it, and cook it in plenty olive oil until it's like marmalade.....
