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.

We simply bow to this dish💞 It's the dish of all dishes, at least according to my preferences! There's no room for alternative, healthy cooking methods here. Moussaka requires fried eggplant and potatoes... we leave the healthy stuff for other dishes 😁 It does take some effort, but it's more than worth it!!!

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!

Classic Greek Moussaka Classic Greek Moussaka
It is certainly the most well-known Greek dish abroad. There is no foreigner who will come to our country and not try it, just as there is no Greek restaurant abroad that does not have it on its menu. Greek moussaka in its most traditional version.

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.
