Zucchini Moussaka

This one is based on an initial recipe I found on Diet Doctor (link) but I swapped the aubergine with zucchini is it makes it lighter, and played a bit with the measures of the ingredients…

This makes 2 big portions.

Ingredients

  • 2 small zucchini
  • 250 gr minced meat
  • one small onion
  • fresh green pepper
  • 1 tbsp balsamico
  • 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella
  • arabiata sauce

Instructions

  • peel and slice the zucchini into small rounds, coat with olive oil and put them in the airfryer for 25 min
  • start roasting the minced meet and the onion in a non-stick pan
  • spice with the balsamico, organo, cinnamon, salt and pepper
  • add the green pepper cut in small pieces and mix
  • when the minced meat starts to brown, add the arabiata salt and mix till it’s not too liquid anymore
  • add the cream cheese and heavy cream and whisk
  • add the gruyere
  • then add a layer of the minced meat mix in an oven proof pyrex form, top it with the roasted zucchini, then add the rest of the meat mix above it
  • sprinkle the top with the mozarella, and add some oregano
  • cook in the oven at 220°C for about 20 min
