I guess it's some kind of moussaka...

...but it doesn't really follow any recipe I found anywhere.

Ingredients:
- 24 oz (650-700 g) potatoes
- 3 small zucchinis
- 2 yellow crookneck squash
- 1 red onion
- 1-1.5 lb (500-700 g) ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic
- salt
- black pepper
- dried red pepper
- shawarma spice
- 1 bunch italian parsley (coarsely chopped)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup grated jack cheese
- olive oil

Start by heating the oil in a large pan, add the coarsely chopped onion and stir till translucent. Then add the ground beef together with all the spices, and stir till browned, cover and let simmer. Dice the potatoes (I used a 1:1 mix of white and purple potatoes), the zucchinis, and the yellow squash - dices should be about 1/2" (1 cm) on each side. Put them in a baking pan, pour over the milk, then the meat, and finally a layer of grated cheese. Goes in the oven at 400 F (200 C) for about 40 minuttes.

NB: The baking pan in the picture is about 9" X 9" (22 cm x 22 cm) and that was for HALF of it.

Update: For a shawarma spice mixture, see this later post.
