Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 eggplants, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
4 tomatoes, diced and seeded
1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup red wine
1 1/4 cups nonfat plain yogurt
1 egg
1 egg white
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 ounces reduced-fat feta cheese
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Place eggplant slices on baking sheets coated with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 450 until tender and somewhat brown (about 7 minutes, flipping them halfway).
  • Meanwhile heat olive oil, onions and garlic in a skillet on medium heat. After 5 minutes, add mushrooms, tomatoes, chickpeas, cinnamon, all spice and red wine. Put the lid on and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • In a 13x9 dish, place on layer of eggplant on the bottom, then spoon half the tomato mixture on top. Repeat layers. There will probably be liquid left in the pan, but that's okay. Just discard it because the flavors are distributed in the veg mixture. However, you may want to reduce the liquid and pour if over the dish. It will just take more time.
  • Mix together the yogurt, egg, egg whites, nutmeg and cheese. It won't be completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper to your liking and pour over the tomato mixture.
  • Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes, or until the top looks set.

This moussaka is a great make-ahead dish. You can assemble it the night before and bake it the next day. It's also a great dish to freeze. I always have a few containers of moussaka in my freezer for busy weeknights.
