Greek Shepard's Pie. A riff on Moussaka.

Spiced ground beef and baked eggplant below, with sauce. Mashed potatoes with cheese on top.

The eggplant came out of my patio garden.

Peel and cube your eggplant. Put it in a colander and salt generously, then toss it. The salt draws out moisture so your eggplant won't turn mushy. let the eggplant drain for at least 20 minutes.

Spray grease a sheet of parchment in a sheet pan. Spread the eggplant in a single layer. Roast at 350 until the edges turn slightly brown (usually 15 to 20 minutes) Remove from the oven and set aside.

Dice a small onion and saute it in olive oil with.5 to 1 pound ground beef. As meat turns brown and onions turn translucent, (at this point those worrying about their weight or cholesterol can pour most of the fat from the pan) add the eggplant, a 15 ounce can of crushed tomatoes, a tsp. of cinnamon and one of garlic powder, a large pinch of ground clove,and a large pinch of dried oregano. Continue to simmer until you have a thick sauce. Taste and adjust all the spices, as well as the salt and pepper.

The mashed potatoes are the usual except mash them with milk instead of butter. As you mash add about a quarter cup of real parmesan shreds. Spread the mash over the top and top with a sprinkle of more parm.

Bake at 350 until golden brown and bubbly. Around 30 minutes.

My wife and kids got me this for Father’s Day and I finally had time to use.  They aren’t kidding 1500 degrees.  Very solid construction.  Heavy gauge stainless throughout.  Comes with a pizza stone too.  Most of these run $300 up to $1500.   This one is $169 on amazon and I give it 5 stars.

That’s a Black Krim in there. We’ve had four so far, and that’s a record for us this early. And, Duke’s mayo. 

I’ve already eaten this sandwich and am enjoying a cocktail while you’re all slaving away with ‘proper’ bacon 😀
