  • When they are well baked on all sides, turn off the heat.

  • After 45 minutes, you can peel them and salt them.

Potato preparation:

  • Peel a potato and cut it into slices 7-8 mm thick, then put it in water to cook for about 7–10 minutes.

  • Remove the potatoes and strain well, leave to cool slightly.

Preparation of minced meat filling:

  • Fry the chopped onion in oil for 2 minutes, add the finely chopped carrots, and the minced meat.

  • Leave to simmer until the water evaporates from the meat (10 minutes), cover and occasionally stir over a moderately high heat.

  • Then add chopped chili pepper (optional), tomato chopped into pieces, dried primrose, minced red pepper, stir, and simmer for 10 minutes.

  • Add salt, pepper, dry spice to taste at the end.

Process of work:

  1. When you have finished all this, you can start preparing the moussaka and sorting.

  2. Coat a deeper pan with oil and arrange:

  3. first layer of potatoes,

  4. second layer of eggplant, and finely chopped 1 clove garlic
