                  Meat and Poultry:
                 Moussaka Amerikanis

                from Atlanta Cooknotes
           ___________________________________

INGREDIENTS:

4 medium-sized eggplants
Salt
10 tablespoons butter, divided
2 pounds ground lamb or beef
3 onions, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup red wine
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 to 3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 cup bread crumbs, divided
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk, scalded
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
4 tablespoons olive oil

TO PREPARE:

Peel 1/2-inch strips lengthwise from eggplant so that it
looks striped. Cut eggplant into 3/4-inch-thick rounds.
Sprinkle with salt; set aside between two heavy plates to
extract excess fluid. In a frying pan, saute lamb and
onions in 4 tablespoons butter; drain. Add tomato paste,
parsley, wine, salt, pepper, and water. Simmer until
liquid is reduced. Cool. Stir in cinnamon, eggs, 1/2-cup
cheese, and 1/4-cup bread crumbs; reserve. In a saucepan,
melt 6 tablespoons butter and blend in flour. Remove from
heat and gradually stir in milk. Return to heat, cooking
and stirring until sauce is thickened. Add salt, pepper,
and nutmeg. In a bowl, add a little of the hot sauce to
the egg yolks, beating well. Pour egg mixture into
remaining sauce, stirring and cooking for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside. Brown eggplant on both
sides in olive oil. More oil may be added if needed.
Sprinkle 1/4-cup bread crumbs in a buttered 3-quart
casserole. Cover with alternating layers of eggplant and
reserved lamb mixture, ending with eggplant. Pour sauce
over all and sprinkle with 1/4-cup cheese. Recipe is
better if prepared a day ahead, and baked immediately
before serving. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1
hour.

SERVES: 10 - 12
