Mousaka Fries Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Eggplant

   Slice the eggplants into long strips. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Fry the eggplant strips until golden brown and tender, about 4-5 minutes per side. Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare Chestnuts

   Chop the cooked chestnuts coarsely.

5. 5

   Make the Salsa Verde

   In a food processor, combine parsley, capers, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

6. 6

   Assemble the Moussaka Fries

   On a serving platter, layer the fried eggplant, followed by the smoked pork, and sprinkle the chopped chestnuts on top. Drizzle with salsa verde.
