Lebanese Vegetarian Eggplant 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

Delicious vegan moussaka with béchamel made from mashed potatoes!!!A few more secretsIf you want, you can also add potatoes like in traditional moussaka. The recipe is from the book 'Sarakostiana' (M.D. Kokkinou, G.S. Kofina). Good luck!!!

With plenty of time at home and the fasting period, I decided to make a somewhat elaborate dish in a vegan version. The result was rewarding, and we enjoyed a very delicious, albeit vegan, dish!

A wonderful recipe ideal for the fasting period, for a vegan diet, and for all year round since its taste is amazing. The vegan moussaka has nothing to envy in taste and aroma from the classic version!

Lean flavorfull meat like ground lamb or ground venison, deer meat, is a great way to make a three layer greek moussaka with eggplant. A delicacy, usually only available to hunters. New Zealand Farmers now sell excellent frozen venison worldwide.

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!

A guaranteed recipe for this Greek casserole made of layers of eggplants, tomatoes and béchamel sauce.

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.

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!!!

Since my son went to study in another city, I thought of cooking his favorite dishes that are hard for him to make on his own, putting them in microwave-safe containers, freezing them, and sending them to his home in insulated boxes with ice packs.
