Moussaka Cauliflower

 Instructions:                              

Brown ground beef and onion, seasoning (salt, pepper) and set aside.

Remove core and leaves from cauliflower and slice into ‘trees,’ about ¼" – ½’ thick.

You may blanch the cauliflower if you prefer a softer cauliflower, or leave it raw.

Prepare a thin batter by beating together eggs, flour, seasoning and 3-4 tablespoons water. Dip the cauliflower slices into the batter and fry lightly until nicely brown. Remove and drain on absorbent paper.

Add 1 cup of tomato juice to the ground beef. If you want a spicier taste, use either one of the seasoned V8 juices, or add hot pepper sauce to your tomato sauce. You could also use spaghetti sauce, although it will result in a thicker consistency. Grease a casserole or baking dish. Layer as follows: cauliflower, ground beef and then cauliflower. Pour the remaining juice over the moussaka and bake in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes
