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.

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!
