How to make

Wash the zucchini, dry it and cut it into small cubes.

Cut the white part of the onion into slices. Cut the garlic into slices as well.

Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan, add the zucchini and onion and stew, until they remain in the fat.

Add the rice, which has been washed and strained in advance. Fry until it becomes transparent. Season with salt, black pepper, and chopped dill.

Transfer the mixture into a baking pan greased with olive oil, spread it out and pour the water.

Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F (200°C) until the water is absorbed.

Beat the eggs for the moussaka topping in a bowl with a fork, add the flour and salt.

Beat, then add the yogurt and beat the mixture until smooth. Pour evenly over the vegetable moussaka and place the baking pan in the oven to bake on the top rack until golden brown.

The zucchini moussaka is ready. It can also be served with tarator or additional yogurt.
