Romanian Mussaka

Ingredients:

• 1,5kg. potatoes, sliced
• 3 tbsp. olive oil

Romanian Mussaka is a traditional Romanian recipe for a classic dish of layered potatoes, meat and tomatoes covered in beef stock and oven baked:

Heat the oil in a large pan or wok and use to fry the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until just softened. Add the onions and fry for a further 10 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to an oven-proof casserole dish then top with the meat and tomatoes. Season with salt and black pepper then stir to combine. Pour the beef stock over the top then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake for about 60 minutes. Serve hot.
