The South Arm Multicultural Community Kitchen made a Greek theme meal.

The first recipe is Moussaka.

We served the moussaka with a yogurt dip.

Instructions

Make 4 to 6 vertical slits onto the surface of the eggplants.

Wrap in plastic wrap and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes or until the eggplants softened.

Grease the loaf pan on all sides.

After the eggplants have cooled down, carefully peel the skin off.

Arrange the eggplant skins onto the loaf pan.

Chop the flesh of the eggplants, onions and carrots. Combine ground beef, eggplants, onions, garlic, carrots, eggs and oats in a large bowl. Add nutmeg.

Add Worcestershire sauce. If you do not have Worcestershire sauce, you may substitute with soy sauce.

Add thyme and ketchup. Season with salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients well.

Pour mixture into the eggplant lined pan. Gently pat down.

Cover the meatloaf with the overhang eggplant skin.

Bake in a 400F preheated oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool in pan before removing to slice.
