Comments

Is already Friday, we only have 3 days left until the holidays are over, return to the routine again…. Well, we still have those days to continue enjoying.

And to continue enjoying gastronomically, today I have brought you this meat and zucchini musaka. I tried this recipe for the first time at my partner's grandmother's house and, I loved it, it was delicious, even more so. For this reason, I decided to do it the other day and here I leave it for you to enjoy it too.

Ingredients

3 large zucchini.
Olive oil.
Salt
Grated cheese.
bechamel.

For meat:

1 onion.
1 green pepper
2 garlic cloves.
2 tomatoes.
Olive oil.
White wine.
Water.
Salt
Thyme.
Oregano.

Preparation

First of all, tell you that the musaka is normally made with Eggplants, but for me they have a very strong flavor, so it was decided to choose zucchini.

This recipe can prepare in advance, since the meat can be made from the day before we have cooked some macaroni with meat. If that meat is left over, we can use it for this recipe.

Well, to make this recipe for meat and zucchini musaka, we will first make the meat. To do this, we will mince both the garlic cloves, the onion, the pepper and the tomato very well. Then, in a pot we will add a good background of olive oil and we will add all the previous ingredients in that order, we will leave them until they are poached very well.

Once everything is poached, we will add the meat and sauté it so that it takes on the taste of the vegetables. We will also add the spices: salt, thyme and oregano and stir. When we see that it has changed a little color, we add a splash of white wine and, when the alcohol evaporates, we will add water to cover the meat a little and we will leave it cook and reduce at least half an hour.

While the meat is reducing we will do the courgettes. We will peel the zucchini and cut it into thin elongated loaches. Then, we will take a pan and add a drizzle of oil, and place the zucchini slices so that they brown a little.

Be careful with this operation, because if you put the heat very high, you will run the risk of them sticking and burning and you may run out of zucchini. So put the low fire.

Once I add all the zucchini slices and the meat, we will start to assemble the dish. Over one honda fountain In the oven, we will place a drizzle of olive oil and then a layer of zucchini slices, on top of it, a layer of meat and so on until the source is completed with layers of zucchini and meat, the last being zucchini.

Finally, we will carry out a bechamel, which we will bathe this meat and zucchini musaka, we will put cheese on top and put it in the oven 180ºC for about 20-25 min.
