Our last Day! to Jaffo and the Shuk Pishpishim (flea market) with Maura

Pishpishim means Fleas- and is adjacent to the old city of Jaffo.  We take Maura to Jaffo and to the Shuk for our last day.  We wander through the shops and artists galleries.  We wander through the streets of the now chic shops in the shuk.  And- go to an early dinner/late lunch at Pua.  The last time I was there I ate Moussaka and loved it.  I asked if I could go into the kitchen and they told me they were too busy. 

 This time, the restaurant was quieter.  And so I asked if I could go into the kitchen to ask about a couple of recipes.  And- they said yes!  

Mousska from Puaa: this is a layered dish of potato, quinoa, eggplant with béchamel and tomato sauce.  This is delicious! First all the ingredients are cooked separately and then assembled.

Boil the potatoes and prepare the quinoa.  Fry the eggplant; make the béchamel sauce (with fresh basil) and tomato sauce.

Layer potato, quinoa, eggplant, sauces and after layering, spread mozzarella cheese on top.  Bake.
