Celery Root Moussaka

A very delicious dish - if you haven't tried the combination of celery with beef so far, I recommend you do it. I used to eat a similar dish in a restaurant, I was so impressed that I tried to reproduce the recipe with the ingredients I had found in the market. In addition, it is a food that goes perfectly in a diet, has a lot of protein and reasonable calories. Try it, it's something very tasty!

Grate a little cheese to make a golden crust on top of the moussaka. Or another option would be to beat 2 eggs and grease the celery layer with them.
