Yet Another Musakka


Simply put, a "musakka" is a layered vegetable which includes eggplant.  Every couple of weeks I make a new version.  One of the reasons I like it is because it's a "bake and serve."  You make it in a baking pan which can be put on the table.  Every housewares store, and many supermarkets, have a large selection of such pans.  You can also make it in disposable aluminum pans or the "cardboard" ones that are microwave proof.

The musakka pictured above is a simple recipe, which I made up spontaneously, layering eggplant and chopped turkey with onions and tomato paste.  You can flavor it with garlic and other spices.  There's no "right and wrong."

Be creative and enjoy!

    yummm, I love Mussaka! My hubs, daughter and I are making aliyah G-d willing in a couple of months and I am about to buy a set of oven to table baking pans, should I just wait and get it in Israel? Is there a good selection and are the prices ok?
    Thanks for sharing, I found your blog reading through KOAB comments ( an old post about Israeli grocery shopping)

  2. TP, if you're sending a lift, get discounted, sale or outlet bake-serve pans in Houston. They are very heavy and breakable. That's why I don't bring them on the plane. Actually last trip I could have brought another suitcase which could have had been filled with 50 lbs of bake/serve pans. But I don't have room in the kitchen.
    Some times there are sales here, but the outlet sales in the states are usually better.
    Where will you be living?
