Ann T's Moussaka recipe...How many servings?

15 years ago

I have never made Moussaka before and found this wonderful looking recipe when searching lamb recipes this morning. Ann, or anyone who has made it, can you tell me the size baking dish it uses (it only says 'baking dish' but not what size) and about how many it serves? Usually I can get a good idea of what I need for my family when viewing a recipe, but this is too new to me, and I sure don't want to do all the work and run short!

Thanks so much.

I bake it in a deep casserole dish. Slightly smaller than a lasagna pan. Guessing the dish I used was about 11 by 7 or 8 inches.

Depending on how you slice it you should get between 6 and 8 servings.

Terri, sounds good. I've been thinking of making them again Asian style and adding garlic chili sauce and cilantro to the mix. Hope you take pictures. Ann

Although my family always made moussaka with only eggplant, potato moussaka is a variation. The same is true, to a lesser degree, with using zucchini. I've seen recipes from Greek Orthodox church cookbooks that use only eggplant, only potato, and a mix of the two. I've used potato before but prefer straight eggplant. That said, I think the potato slices contribute a sturdiness that you don't get with just eggplant. Eggplant softens and can get smushy. The potato slices add textural appeal. The only moussaka I don't care for is when the custard is in the middle rather than on the top. It must be a texture thing for me. Too much creaminess mixed with the softened eggplant. I like the browned crust of the custard baked on top.

It sounds wonderful, but could I use strong coffee for espresso? I'm thinking Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Thank you for reminding me!

i think chard lacks the oxylic (sp?) acid that is in spinach which interfers with the absorption of calicum or iron... sorry forget which. i love swiss chard not too fond of spinach. the former grows all season thru 90 degrees to 20 degrees. spinach bolts quickly in warm temps. i find chard a better choice. i eat some cheese and love it. the odd thing is on pizza i like a minimum amount of cheese (don't want double cheese! the regular amount is often a bit too much) but give me an 8 oz chunk o cheese, any cheese, i'll eat it in 10 minutes! like ice cream, i try to not buy it other than as grated cheese. i use a minor amount of butter. i don't use milk or cream. i eat about a pint of yogurt a week. i love ice cream but i have only eaten it 2 or 3 times in the past 1 1/2 years. i could eat a quart a day therefore i avoid it. i eat eggs in the winter but not too often. i haven't had any for 7 or 8 perhaps 10 months. however, when i do eat eggs, i'll have 4-6 scrambled with veggies. kinda creepy tho knowing what it is! i like them but... tom
