Cooking again

So here I am once again in Budapest and to fill in the time that Istvan is out working, I went to Pannicka's for us to cook. As she had shown me a couple of recipes last time, I showed her my recipe for Moussaka and it wasn't half bad, if I say so myself. So for those of you who might like to know this recipe:

500 g or minced beef
1 large onion
5 cloves of garlic
2 tomatoes
4 big aubergines
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
salt
pepper

butter
flour
1 litre of milk
4 cloves of nutmeg
salt
pepper

a bottle of white wine

So first of all cut the garlic or press it
then dice the onion
Fry the garlic and onion for a short time and then add the minced beef and keep on a small flame. Add a teaspoon of cinnemon, a small amount of salt and some pepper.

Melt some butter, 50 to 100 g of butter in a saucepan
Add a heaped soup spoon of flour and make a roux. Keep stirring so that it doesn't burn. Add a little milk and stir into a paste and do this until you have added all the milk and there are no lumps. Add the salt, pepper and the nutmeg and stir. Let it come to just before it boils then take it off the heat.

Cut the aubergines in lengths about half a centimetre and fry them gently in a little oil and put them in an oven dish. Once you have one layer add some of the meat sauce and a little of the bechamel. Add another layer of aubergines. Add a half bottle of white wine to the meat sauce and bring to the boil. Then pour this over the dish with the aubergines and finally cover with what is left of the bechamel.

Put all of this into a hot oven for 40 to 60 mins.

Bon appetit!
