Bosnian Musaka

This dish is a variation of the Greek Moussaka, but this is how we make it in Bosnia and we call it Musaka.

This recipe is for a low-fat version of this dish. You can make it a bit more rich by substituting sour cream for the plain yogurt.

Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup of plain yogurt or sour cream (I use low fat sour cream)
- 2 cups of milk (I use low fat milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt, or to taste
- pepper to taste
- Vegeta to taste
- 10-12 medium yellow potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin circles about 1/8-1/4 inch thick
- eggplants (optional) - use 1 big eggplant or about 5-6 small Indian eggplants sliced the same size as the potatoes
- Olive or other oil such as sunflower or canola
- 1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped


Directions:
- Measure 3 tablespoons of oil into the baking dish. Tilt the dish up and down and from side to side to even spread oil.
- Saute the chopped onion in the skillet until translucent
- Add ground beef and saute, breaking up beef as it cooks. Keep cooking until meat browns.
- While meet is cooking, in a bowl, beat eggs and mix with yogurt/sour cream and leave for the end
- Preheat the oven to 450 F (~ 232 C)
- Peel and slice potatoes so they are thin, as uniformly as you can, about 1/8-1/4 inch thick
- If you choose to use eggplant, slice them the same size as the potatoes, put some salt over them and leave for about 10 minutes, then wipe the salt and bitter juices that came out with a paper towel - this takes away the bitterness of the eggplant https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCYQFjABahUKEwiHkZ3IrfzHAhXLcD4KHVX_CXw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fworldtravelerrecipes.blogspot.com%2F2014%2F01%2Fbosnian-musaka.html&usg=AFQjCNFIPg_j-b9NClT3InqNFEPZ6IRGtw
