Greek Zucchini Moussaka

This Greek Zucchini Moussaka is a recipe that will perfectly suit a healthy meal plan and particularly follows the rules of low carbs.

Layers of zucchini slices and a ground beef, tomato sauce and onion mix stuffed between ricotta cheese. I use authentic garlic cloves, oregano, cinnamon, bay leaves and ground cloves to add flavor to this delicious Greek delicacy.

To make Greek Zucchini Moussaka, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Greek Zucchini Moussaka

1	Preheat oven and prepare baking dish	1
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease a 12x8-inch baking dish with some olive oil.
2	Cook onions	4
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add 1 diced sweet onion. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, while stirring, until soft and translucent.
3	Add garlic	1
Add 2-4 cloves of minced garlic, stir and cook for another minute.
4	Add ground beef	10
Add 1½ pounds of ground beef and use a wooden spoon to crumble the meat. Cook until no longer pink.
5	Add tomato sauce and seasonings	15
Add 1 jar of tomato sauce, 1½ teaspoon of dried oregano, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 bay leaf, ⅛ of ground clove, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to mix everything and bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Discard the bay leaf.
6	Prepare moussaka	5
Prepare the moussaka by starting with layers of zucchini slices at the base of the prepared casserole dish then add a layer of the meat sauce and finally top the meat sauce with ½ cup of ricotta cheese. Repeat the layers and finish with slices of zucchini on top and sprinkle ¼ cup of ground Parmesan cheese all over.
7	Bake	30
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
8	Serve
Garnish with sprinkles of fresh herbs, to serve.
