I really enjoy cooking with my husband, together in the kitchen, moving around each other in smooth harmony, like a dance. The stereo's providing the soundtrack to a flirtatious evening. It's fun getting hugs and kisses whilst making Bechamel sauce!
Moussaka is a firm favourite in our home. I always make it with lean lamb mince. A fresh Greek village salad made of ripe tomatoes, crispy cucumbers, aromatic green peppers, red onion, feta, Kalamata olives, dressed with extra virgin olive oil and oregano is the perfect accompaniment.
This recipe is my own modification of the recipe in Vefa Alexiadou's book, Greek Cuisine. It's not difficult to make and if you have a few aubergines in the fridge sometime, it's certainly worth a try. I grilled my aubergines on the barbecue, brushing them lightly with olive oil first ( a job my husband took on with no resistance as it involved using the barbecue!)
It is really delicious and will have everyone coming back for seconds!
