- Popular in Greece, layers of eggplant & meat – Moussaka
Moussaka is actually a traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dish, though it’s most famously associated with Greek cuisine.
Greek moussaka is a layered casserole typically made with eggplant (usually sliced and fried or baked), ground meat (often lamb or beef, cooked with onions, garlic, tomato, and spices), and bechamel sauce (a creamy white sauce poured on top, often baked until golden). It’s rich, savory, and comforting – kind of like a Mediterranean lasagna, but without pasta.
In Turkey, a version of moussaka is made without layering, often served more like a stew. In Arab countries, it may be vegetarian and served cold, more like a mezze.
