Hello everybody, it’s me, Dave, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, moussaka, my version. One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I will make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
Prepare the Greek Moussaka meat sauce. The traditional Greek moussaka recipe calls for either lamb mince or a mix of lamb and beef. But if you can't handle its strong flavour and prefer a lighter version try substituting with good quality beef or veal mince. This is my version of this dish because in addition to the standard ingredients I also added penne pasta to the bottom of the casserole because I felt that otherwise, I would not get enough of it and that it would taste more, but just skip the pasta and you will get the classic Greek moussaka with minced meat, eggplants, and tomatoes in. #moussaka #arabicfood Moussaka is a delectable Mediterranean classic.

To my mind, moussaka is a more healthy version of lasagna, as the pasta is substituted with eggplants. I actually love baking lasagna (and of course eating it, who doesn't?). But when I tried moussaka recipe, I thought is was much more tastier! Well first of all, to my mind, eggplant gives this dish more flavor.
Instructions to make Moussaka, my version:
- Preheat oven 400°Fahrenheit
- Peel the eggplant. Cut the eggplant into quarters long ways. Take a vegetable peeler and slice the eggplant thinly. About an eighth of an inch thick
- Oil the eggplant slices. Add salt. Bake in oven till done. I did mine ith the pan I was going to bake the moussaka in.
- When eggplant is soft. Set aside. Mix the cheese and egg together. Lower heat on oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
- In a pan add sausage and ground meat. Add onions, cinnamon, allspice, garlic,tomato paste, salt and pepper. When the mixture is browned add diced tomatoes. Simmer 15 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes add beaten egg mixture. Then mix well.
- Add meat, egg and cheese mixture to the top of eggplant. Set aside.
- Mix eggs, nutmeg, and coconut milk together set aside
- In a saucepan add butter and melt. Mix nutmeg and baking powder with parmesan cheese. Add it to butter stirring constantly. Add milk, egg mixture still stirring constantly. Till it thickens add to top of the tomato meat mixture.
- Bake in oven 45 minutes. Let cool, this is important, 20 minutes or when you cut into it and serve it will slide. Once it cools it won't do the slide. Even reheated it won't. I refrigerated overnight. Serve hope you enjoy!
But when I tried moussaka recipe, I thought is was much more tastier! Well first of all, to my mind, eggplant gives this dish more flavor. Preheat your grill to medium high. When I say "my version" I mean the herbs and spices that I use, which may not be the same as you find in other moussaka recipes. Moussaka is a bit of a labor of love as it takes a little effort to prepare, but the end results are worth it.
