A very delicious dish - if you haven't tried the combination of celery with beef so far, I recommend you do it. I used to eat a similar dish in a restaurant, I was so impressed that I tried to reproduce the recipe with the ingredients I had found in the market. In addition, it is a food that goes perfectly in a diet, has a lot of protein and reasonable calories. Try it, it's something very tasty!

Ingredients

Metric US

●

Ground beef meat

1 kg

●

Celery root

2 pieces

if you take smaller celery from the market, take 3 pieces

●

Sunflower oil

100 ml

●

White onion

1 piece

●

Red dry wine

100 ml

●

Egg

2 pieces

●

Dried herbs(parsley, dill, etc)

1 tsp

●

Pepper

0.25 tsp

●

Yellow cheese

100 g

Step by step

Step 1

Prepare the beef, if you haven't taken it minced, pass it through the mincer.

Step 2

Peel an onion, wash it and cut it into small cubes. Put a little oil in a pan, add the onion and let it harden slightly.

Step 3

Then add the minced meat and stir continuously, so that the meat does not become like a large meatball.

Step 4

This is how the meat should be fried. Add the wine and let the alcohol evaporate for another 10 minutes. Finally add salt, pepper and spices. Turn off the heat and let the meat cool. During this time we will prepare the celery.

Step 5

Celery is cleaned, washed and cut into slices about 5 mm thick.

Step 6

Put a little oil in a Teflon pan and fry the celery pieces on both sides.

Step 7

In a rectangular oven tray, deeper, start assembling the moussaka food. The first layer will be celery.

Step 8

Mix the meat with 2 eggs.

Step 9

Put half of the meat composition over the celery. Then again put a layer of celery and the other amount of meat.

Step 10

The last layer will be another layer of celery. So there will be 3 layers of celery and 2 layers of meat.

Step 11

Grate a little cheese to make a golden crust on top of the moussaka. Or another option would be to beat 2 eggs and grease the celery layer with them.

Step 12

Leave the moussaka in the oven for about an hour at medium temperature. When it's ready, let it cool a bit - it's very good when it's hot, with a fresh vegetable salad.

Good appetite!
