A low carb, low sodium hearty lasagna made with eggplant like moussaka.
Ingredients
Directions
- In a large saucepan heat olive oil. Add onions and garlic, sauté until soft, add mushrooms and peppers and cook until mushrooms start to shrink and are starting to brown.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned. Add tomato sauce, water and paste and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to medium and add pepper, celery seed, oregano, whole bay leaf and simmer, stirring occasionally until eggplant is prepared. (If like to use salt I recommend sea salt to taste.)
- To prepare eggplant, slice into 1/4 inch thick slices. Brown slices in a non-stick pan, you can use cooking spray like Pam if you like.
- Pre-heat oven to 350° F (175° C). In an 8x11" glass baking dish ladle half of your meat sauce, cover with a layer of eggplant and sprinkle with half of your mozzarella cheese.
- Add the other half of your meat sauce, cover with remaining eggplant.
- Sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella and sprinkle on parmesan sparingly.
- Bake for 60 minutes. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

I recently bought a steamer. I just steam the eggplant for a few minutes it comes out beautiful. :)

I love Greek food. But moussaka tends to be very heavy. Beautiful creative way to indulge in something delicious without feeling guilty. Thanks for sharing
