Steps:

• Oven 425 F 1. Line two large baking trays with heavy-duty foil and brush with oil. Put eggplant slices in a single layer on one tray and put the potato slices on the other tray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for about 20 minutes. The veggies can be al dente. Reduce the oven to 350 F. 2. Add butter to large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 min. Increase heat to hi and add mushrooms and stir continuously and cook until soft. Add the oregano and thyme, then the tomatoes. Reduce the heat and simmer rapidly about 8 min until most of the liquid is reduced. Stir in the sugar. 3. Melt 1 1/2- 2 Tbs butter in Chef's pan. Whisk in flour and cook for about 1 min. Remove from the heat and whisk in the milk slowly. Return to the heat and cook stirring constantly until it boils and thickens. Remove from the heat and cool slightly (until the bubbles subside) and stir in the egg and parmesan cheese. 4. Oven 350 F. Grease a shallow 1.5 liter (6 cup) ovenproof dish. (I use a rectangular Corning skillet.) Spoon one-third of the mushroom mixture into the dish. Cover with potatoes and with 1/2 of the remaining mushroom mixture, then the eggplant and the remaining mushroom mixture. Pour the sauce on top and gently smooth the sauce to cover the other layers. Bake 30-35 min until the edges bubble. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.

MUSHROOM MOUSSAKA

Steps:

• Filling Heat the oven to 200 C. Put the potato slices in a pan of water and bring to the boil. Boil for 10 minutes or until they have just started to become tender. Drain off the water, sprinkle a little salt over the potato and leave aside for later use. Put the aubergine slices in bowl pour over a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and mix around, then sprinkle over a little garam masala so that each slice has a little dusting of the spice mix. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, turning the slices over halfway through. When done, take out and leave aside for later use. Reduce the oven temperature to 180 C. Heat a little olive oil in a deep frying pan. Add the onions and fry on high for a couple of minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir around well. Keep stirring to avoid burning. You want to cook the mushrooms well to dry them out a little. This will take about 10 minutes, or longer if you have sliced them thickly. Add the tomatoes, cumin, cinnamon and bay leaves. Break up the tomatoes well so that there are no large lumps. Bring to boil and let boil until the tomato sauce has thickened. Reduce heat and leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes. When it i€™s done remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Oil a large baking/pie dish with some olive oil. Pour in half of the tomato-mushroom sauce, layer with potato and then with some aubergine slices, then pour over the rest of the tomato-mushroom sauce and layer this again with the potato and then aubergine slices. White Sauce Crack 3 eggs into a large bowl, add the nutmeg, salt and pepper, and whisk. Stir in the yoghurt and mint. Pour the white sauce over the top layer of aubergines. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the top has set and is turning brown.
