•••Steps
Peel and finely chop the onion, crush the garlic, peel and dice the carrots and celery into small cubes, and slice the zucchini and potatoes into thin rounds. Keep the potatoes in cold water so they do not discolor.
Slice the eggplant into thin rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 15–20 minutes to draw out moisture.
Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the carrots and celery and cook briefly.
Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat and cook the pork and beef mince.
Add the cooked pork and beef mince to the sautéed vegetables and add the tomato paste and harissa. Mix well and pour in the red wine and passata. Season with cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, add a splash of water, and let simmer gently for half an hour until the flavors meld.
Melt butter in a pan and add flour. Stir to form a roux, then gradually add the semi-skimmed milk until you have a smooth sauce. Season with ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper, and let the sauce thicken slightly.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Grease a baking dish with olive oil and spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce over the bottom. Add a layer of potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Add a layer of zucchini, then spoon over some of the meat ragout. Add another layer of potatoes and a second thin layer of béchamel sauce, then the eggplant slices. On top of that, add a second layer of meat ragout.
Repeat until the dish is filled, ending with a layer of potatoes and the remaining béchamel sauce.
Grate a generous layer of sheep’s cheese over the casserole.
Bake the moussaka in the hot oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Enjoy!
