how do you greeks make mousaka

[wvwvw]

I have done a vegan moussaka recipe once. At the time I wasn't even aware it was a Greek dish to be honest, only recently I found out.

It's not exclusively a Greek dish. Originally it was a Persian dish. It was just a Greek that added bechamel sauce to the dish and thus he made the Greek version the most prevalent.

Turkish and Persian Moussaka for example look quite different. It is not layered, instead, it is prepared with sautéed eggplant, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, and minced meat. It is generally eaten with rice.

On a second thought, I had to confirm what I really did and it wasn't moussaka What I did was moqueca (for some reason I confused both names), which is a Brazilian dish. Meanwhile I did find recipes for a vegetarian moussaka so it goes on my future list.

In the Levant, moussaka is a cooked dish made up primarily of tomatoes and eggplant, similar to Italian caponata, and may also include chickpeas. It may be served cold or hot.

It is a heavy dish a bit like the English Shepherd's pie, so I rarely make it, perhaps make lighter versions of it.

Indeed a heavy Dish especially now that its very hot

Most Greek versions are based primarily on sautéed aubergine (eggplant) potatoes and minced meat toped with bechamel sauce.

That's exactly how I make mine. I definitely put nutmeg in my bechamel.

Sounds good, it's not bechamel but it looks good anyway .
