• 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
  
• 3-3/4 c. milk
  
• pinch of ground nutmeg

• 1-1/4 lb. ground beef

• salt/pepper to taste
  
• 6 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  
• 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped

Instructions



1. Preheat outdoor grill for medium high heat and lightly oiled oil grate.
   
   
2. Brush eggplant, potatoes and zucchini lightly with extra virgin olive oil. Grill vegetables until just tender and golden brown. Layer potatoes into the bottom of a 9" x 13" glass baking dish. Next layer in the eggplant, followed by the zucchini; set aside.
   
   
3. Preheat oven to 375 deg. F (190 deg. C)
   
   
4. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook until the flour smells slightly toasted, about 5 min. Whisk in the milk, nutmeg and salt. Bring to a bare simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 min.. Place the egg yolk into a bowl and quickly whisk in 1/4 c. of the thickened milk, a Tbsp at a time. Quickly stir the egg yolk mixture into the thickened milk until smooth, then set aside.
   
   
5. Meanwhile, heat 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the ground beef and onion and cook until beef is crumbly and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease, then stir in the oreano, parsley, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Turn heat to Medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 min., stirring occasionally.
   
   
6. To assemble, spread the meat mixture over the vegetables, and sprinkle with the feta cheese. Pour the white sauce over top, and smooth with a spatula.
   
   
7. Bake moussaka in preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown, about 30 min. Makes 6 servings
