Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb moussaka
  • 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lemon
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 2 tsp fresh oregano
  • 1 medium crumbled feta
  • 1 lb kosher salt
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the moussaka dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the moussaka, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
