When first experimenting with my Moussaka Recipe, I had a hard time with the recipe coming out too greasy. If you’re experiencing similar problems, here are a few suggestions to correct the issue. Photo 3) Vigorously stir in warmed milk. But do it little by little so there are no lumps! If there are a few lumps at first, you’ll find they will dissolve into the sauce by the time you’ve added all the milk. In fact, moussaka is popular across the Eastern Mediterranean. Though it’s better to think of them as a family of dishes rather than versions of the same. Because they are quite different from each other indeed. Moussaka is made in four easy steps, 1. Preparing the vegetables. 2. Preparing the meat sauce. 3. Preparing the bechamel sauce 4. Putting it all together and letting it bake to perfection. Keep reading for step-by-step instructions on how to make this perfect Greek meal. Recipe Origins I found the recipe a few years ago in an article called How to Cook Perfect Moussaka in the Guardian newspaper. I chose to base my recipe on that one simply because it was a really easy version, but still tasted really rich and delicious.

So, I bake my moussaka aubergines and potatoes instead. Your moussaka will turn out to be lighter, with less calories and will taste just as amazing! Now you can enjoy more of your moussaka guilt free! So, drizzle your sliced aubergines and potatoes with some olive oil, season with a good pinch of salt and pepper and bake them in sheet pans for 20 minutes at 180C/350F until they are part way cooked and slightly browned on the outside. The well-known Greek version is of course an oven baked dish of layered meat sauce, aubergine or potato, and topped with bechamel sauce.

The third and final main layer is the béchamel sauce. Again, this is similar to a classic béchamel you’d use in an Italian lasagne, just with a few differences:A book titled “A Baghdad Cookery Book’ published in the 13th century contained a recipe for musakhkhan, a sort of eggplant stew that has a list of ingredients similar to moussaka. Arab immigrants likely shared this recipe, and the use of eggplant in cooking, to those in Greece and Turkey. To reheat, for best results cover the Moussaka with foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes at 160°C. There you have it! Perfectly reheated moussaka.
