Vegetable Moussaka
I think this dish is called Vegetable Moussaka because it uses a lot of aubergines! Never mind… it is really delicious regardless of whether it tastes like a moussaka or not.

Instructions
- Place layers of aubergine in a colander and sprinkle each layer with salt. Allow to stand for 30 minutes to allow the bitter juices to be drawn out.
- Dry the aubergine slices with some kitchen paper.
- Heat the oil in a pan and add the onions, tomatoes, nutmeg and garlic paste. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Turn the heat off the sauce and stir in the parsley.
- Place the breadcrumbs in the bottom of a casserole dish. Add a layer of potatoes followed by a layer of aubergine.
- Sprinkle on a layer of grated cheese, then make alternate layers of courgette and aubergine.
- Add a layer of potato, then pour on the tomato sauce. Finish with a layer of grated cheese.
- Pour 200 ml (7 fl oz) of water carefully down the inside of the dish. Bake in an oven at 200°C for 1 hour or until the topping is crisp and golden.
Titli's Tips
If you don’t like your topping so crispy, you can cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminium foil during part of all of the baking.
