Introduction
A deliciously creamy, juicy moussaka made gluten-free with sweet pan-fried eggplants, a rich seasoned beef sauce, and a velvety parmesan béchamel sauce. This quick recipe yields delicious individual servings in a fraction of the traditional baking time.
Step 1
Heat two frying pans over medium heat and add olive oil. Slice the eggplants into rounds about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
Place three eggplant slices in the first pan. Season with salt, pepper, and a bit more olive oil, frying for 2 to 2.5 minutes on each side.
Step 3
Grate the unpeeled Yukon Gold potato into a bowl, then add the shredded potato to the second heated pan with olive oil.
Step 4
Finely chop 1/2 onion and thinly slice 2 cloves of garlic. Add them to the pan with the shredded potatoes and sauté together.
Step 5
Add ground nutmeg, garlic powder, and ground beef to the potato and onion mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, and oregano, then sauté for about 1.5 minutes until cooked.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended because their skin is very thin, allowing you to grate them without peeling.
Eggplants naturally absorb a lot of oil, so be generous with the olive oil when frying to ensure they cook evenly.
Using gluten-free flour makes this traditional Greek dish completely safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
