SWEET POTATO MOUSSAKA

In Serbia we used to eat greek moussaka made of potatoes and very often I make that one moussaka for my kids. But as I read a lot how night shade grupation of the veggies ( eggplants, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes …) are not such a great option for us because they are full of harmful substances which may contribute to inflammatory bowel disease and other autoimmune conditions. Having this fact in my mind and the fact that sweet potato has lower glycemic index and more vitamin A, I prefer to go for sweet potato instead of normal potato. But let’s go for this simple sweet potato moussaka recipe.

  • 1 big onion

  • 4-6 sweet potatoes

  • 500 g of minced chicken meat
