Moussaka

Country Of Origin: Greece 🇬🇷

Moussaka is a traditional Greek eggplant casserole made with baked or pan fried eggplants and potatoes, a rich, tomato based beef or lamb mince sauce and topped off with a deliciously creamy bechamel sauce.

History: Although it's Greece's national dish, it was the Arab immigrants, which introduced moussaka to Greece and Turkey in outdoor dining areas. In the 1920s, Nikolaus Tselementes, a well-known Greek chef and recipe writer, developed what is now the Greek version of moussaka. He invented the layers and recommended the use of bechamel sauce.
