Classic moussaka recipe
Instructions
Prep:35minCook:1h 37min
Our classic Greek moussaka recipe epitomises the richness and comforting nature of hearty Greek fare. For me, this recipe brings back memories of childhood dinners (the kind everyone at our table would gladly eat!). What's in a traditional moussaka recipe? A classic family-friendly dish from the Mediterranean, moussaka is classic comfort food, which we happily eat all year round. It consists of layers of pan-fried eggplant, a thick, rich lamb-tomato sauce, and a topping of deliciously creamy bechamel sauce. Do you need to salt eggplants before making moussaka at home? Many recipes call for eggplants to be salted and rinsed to draw out any bitter juices, but this shouldn’t be necessary if they’re fresh. If the seeds are too defined or feel hard, the eggplant may be old and should be salted. If you love comforting Greek dishes, you'll love these 14 Greek recipe ideas. And, if you're hungry for more moussaka recipes, sink your teeth into our slow-cooked beef moussaka, our cheesy moussaka pasta bake and this vegetarian moussaka made from lentils.
