COOK?S NOTES .
Moussaka can also be made with beef mince or a combination of beef and lamb.
To increase the volume of the mince filing add a cup of cooked white rice or some vegetables, roasted peppers, thinly sliced courgettes, cooked pumpkin, kumara or potato.
If haloumi is unavailable or not to your liking add grated parmesan, gouda or other tasty cheese. Or eliminate the cheese completely and sprinkle the topping with breadcrumbs before cooking.
Serve moussaka with a Greek salad. Leftovers can be
served in pita bread with salad as a delicious sandwich.
