Preparation
Bechamel sauce
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Gradually add cream, stirring lightly with a whisk. Cook, beating gently with a whisk for 5 to 7 minutes or until liquid thickens.
- Stir in pepper, salt and cumin. Set aside.
Moussaka
- Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
- In a non-stick skillet over medium high, brown zucchini slices lightly in butter and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place half the zucchini in single layer in bottom of a greased 8-inch (20 cm) pan. Add the tuna. Stir marinara sauce, onion, tomato, Dijon mustard, basil and garlic. Spread evenly over the zucchini.
- Mix 1/4 cup (50 mL) béchamel with mashed potatoes. Spread potatoes evenly over the tuna-marinara mixture.
- Arrange remaining zucchini slices evenly over the potatoes. Spread the remaining bechamel sauce over the zucchini.
- Bake covered for 20 minutes, remove cover and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the surface is golden and bubbly. Serve hot.
TIP:
- You could change the variety of flavoured tuna, depending on your preference.
- Cook bechamel sauce thoroughly so you don’t taste the flour.
- The moussaka can be prepared in individual ramekins.
