Ingredients

  • 1 pound savory ground beef
  • I small onion chopped
  • 1 Cauliflower
  • 3-4 eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • Cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 cups tomato juice

Directions

1

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

2

Remove core and leaves from cauliflower and slice.

3

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

4

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.

5

Add 1 cup of tomato juice to the ground beef. If you want a spicier taste, use either one if the seasoned V8 juices, or add hot pepper sauce to your tomato sauce.

6

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, cauliflower.

7

Pour the remaining juice over the moussaka and bake in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
