INSTRUCTIONS
Heat olive oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground
beef and chopped onion and cook until beef is brown, breaking up beef with
fork, about 15 minutes. Mix in tomato sauce, red wine, parsley, crumbled
oregano and ground cinnamon. Simmer until mixture thickens and is almost
dry, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.
Cover tightly and refrigerate.)
Preheat oven to 350F. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low
heat. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually add milk, whisking until
smooth. Boil until thick, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Beat eggs
in small bowl to blend. Whisk small amount of milk mixture into eggs.
Return mixture to saucepan. Bring to boil, whisking constantly. Remove
custard from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Season custard
to taste with salt and pepper.
Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Arrange half of eggplant in
bottom of dish. Season with salt and pepper. Spread meat mixture over. Top
with remaining eggplant. Pour hot custard cheese sauce over eggplant.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Cover loosely with foil and bake
1 hour. Uncover and continue baking until golden and bubbling on edges,
about 10 minutes longer. Cool 10 minutes.
Serves 12.
