  Hi Andra, for foul mudamas you can use one can of fava beans. Let oil for a couple of minutes (or microwave for 4 minutes). and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add the juice of half a lemon (or whole lemon), 2-3 gloves mashed garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried coriander (optional), cayenne pepper to taste, salt and pepper. Mix and adjust flavors to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley and olive oil and serve warm with pita bread.

  Many years ago my husband had a meal by the wife of a Syrian man. He really liked it and I thought it was similar to a Moussaka so I made that. It didn't turn out to be what he remembered. He said it didn't look like it what he had. He said it had mostly ground beef with eggplant and chopped onion in it with a bit of sauce also. It was all cooked on top of the stove. The beef had a red color to it.
  
  Do you have any idea what this recipe could be?
  Appreciate your help.
  
  Thanks,
  Jo

  Hi Jo,
  I think what your husband had was 'mnazalit bitinjan' i.e., eggplant mnazali. This is made in several ways depending on the region. The most common is done in the oven where baby eggplants are peeled and deep-fried then stuffed with browned ground beef and onion, then arranged in a pan with some stock. People sometimes used deep-fried sliced eggplants and arranged them in two layers in a pan with the meat in the middle. You can add tomato paste to the mixture or sliced tomatoes as one layer.
  
  Now there is another recipe that is cooked on top of the stove that used cubed eggplant and chickpeas. It is like a stew, but since you did not mention chickpeas, I think this is a different recipe.
  
  Let me know if this is the recipe you're looking for and whether you have any other questions. Happy cooking :)
