Vegetable Moussaka

Moussaka comes in many variations. One version uses white sauce, another uses lamb, some are layered and others are not. I fell in love with the Greek style when I first tried some.
You can add in vegetables such as kabocha squash and potatoes, or eggplant and zucchini and it will still be delicious. Recipe by Nooko

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the vegetables.
- 2
Cut the eggplant into 5 mm thick slices. Place in a colander, sprinkle some salt evenly and rub it with your hand.
- 3
Lay paper towel over the eggplant and place a weight on top of it. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to remove the bitterness from the eggplant.
- 4
Slice the onion and lightly sauté in a heated olive oil.
- 5
Cook the kabocha squash in a microwave. Remove the skin and cut into 1 cm think slices.
- 6
Rinse the eggplant and wipe off excess water.
- 7
In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the eggplant until browned. If it takes a long time to cook through, add a small amount of water.
- 8
For the chickpea tomato sauce.
- 9
Drain the chickpeas and lightly rinse it with water. Smash and mince the garlic.
- 10
In hot olive oil, sauté the garlic, then add all the ingredients for making the tomato sauce (except salt and pepper). Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes.
- 11
Salt and pepper to taste at the end.
- 12
For the yogurt sauce.
- 13
Combine the yogurt and eggs really well and salt and pepper to taste.
- 14
Assemble: Preheat the oven to 180℃. 20 cm round heat proof container seems to be the right size for this recipe.
- 15
In a heat proof container, make layers with half of the eggplant, onion, kabocha squash, and the chickpea sauce in this order, then repeat again to complete the assembly.
- 16
Top it with cheese and pour the yogurt sauce over it. (It may be easier to avoid spilling by lifting up the ingredients with a spoon and pour the sauce in.)
- 17
Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the top becomes golden brown.
- 18
Sprinkle finely chopped coriander or parsley on top if desired.

Greek Moussaka Greek Moussaka
I find Moussaka to be a small labor of love, but the result is definitely a crowd pleaser. This Greek version includes layers of potatoes, meat, and eggplant that are topped with a Béchamel (white) sauce. Each of the layers is separately cooked (hence the small labor) before being combined for the final baking. Enjoy this with a side Greek salad and a glass of wine. Opa! Rick M -
Veggie Moussakas Veggie Moussakas
I met up with a friend in Kefalonia, and she asked me if I had a recipe for Moussaka with vegetables, it just so happens that I did, and to be honest I had never made this version. Last Sunday I took out my pots and pans and started working on it, and the end result was fabulous!!! It took me a bit longer to make than the usual time because there is a bit more work to be done. This is a much lighter version of the traditional Moussaka that has meat, and of course let’s not forget how much frying is involved. Foodzesty -
