Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground lamb or beef
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup beef or chicken broth
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 8 oz eggplants, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 1/4 cup frozen green peas
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepare Meat Mixture:

   • In a bowl, combine ground lamb or beef with garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

2. Prepare Sauce:

   • In another bowl, whisk together beef or chicken broth, tomato paste, and sour cream until smooth. Set aside.

3. Cook Meat:

   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven over high heat until very hot. Add the meat mixture and stir-fry, breaking up the meat until it’s no longer pink, about 1 minute. Remove the meat and juices from the pot and set aside in a large bowl.

4. Cook Vegetables:

   • In the same Dutch oven, heat 2 more tablespoons of olive oil. Add diced eggplants and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Add diced green bell pepper and stir-fry for another minute until the pepper is crisp-tender and the eggplant is also crisp-tender.

5. Combine Ingredients:

   • Add the cooked vegetables to the bowl with the meat mixture.

6. Cook Onion and Peas:

   • Add diced onion and frozen green peas to the Dutch oven. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the peas are thawed.

7. Thicken Sauce:

   • Pour the prepared broth mixture into the Dutch oven with the onion and peas. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 30 seconds until the sauce thickens slightly.

8. Combine and Serve:

   • Return the meat and vegetable mixture to the pot. Add crumbled feta cheese and stir for about 1 minute until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.

9. Serve Immediately:

   • Transfer the Moussaka Stir-Fry to serving plates and enjoy immediately while hot.
