Vegetarian Mushroom Moussaka with a Vegan Version
- 2 pounds, 3-13 ounces, weight Red Skin Potatoes
- 2 pounds, 3-13 ounces, weight Mushroms (I Used Champignons)
- 1 whole Carrot
- 1 whole Red Bell Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Unrefined Sunflower Oil
- 2 whole Onions, Diced
- 1 bunch Dill Chopped
- 1 bunch Parsley, Chopped
- 3-58 ounces, weight Soy Granules
- 2 whole Eggs (Or Egg Substitute For Vegans; You Can Also Add 3-4 Tablespoons Dry Yeast Flakes)
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sweet Paprika
- 1 pinch Dry Thyme
- Sea Salt, to taste
- Peel the potatoes and put them in a large pot filled with water.
- Boil them until theyre tender.
- Mash them and let them cool for a while.
- Chop the mushrooms, carrot and red bell pepper.
- Add them into your food processor and pulse until all ingredients are well mixed together.
- Heat sunflower oil in a large skillet.
- Add the mixture above, diced onions, chopped dill and parsley, soy granules, eggs (or egg substitute plus dry yeast flakes) and spices.
- Saute for 10 minutes.
- (Note: I added the soy granules without boiling them because the mushrooms contain a lot of water and these soy granules will absorb all the excess water.)
- Put some parchment paper on the bottom of a casserole.
- Divide the mashed potatoes in two.
- Place the first half in the casserole and spread it with a spatula.
- Add the filling.
- Top with the remaining half of mashed potatoes.
- Heat your oven to 392 degrees F. Put the casserole in the oven.
- Cook for one hour.
- Dont serve immediately.
- Let it cool for at least half an hour.
