    I've been cooking for well over 55 years and NEVER did I know that you can make Bechamel Sauce using olive oil !!! Am totally stunned - and will do so from now on. Speechless.

    I have lived on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus for 23 years. They sure know how to cook moussaka here and ive never had it, whether in a taverna or with a Cypriot friend serving it, without a layer of potato and zucchini with cheese sprinkled on top. I have made it the Cypriot way and it's delicious. ❤

    Great recipe, quick tip. When you cook the meat - don’t drain those precious juices. If you keep on cooking it reverts to fat and you get that roasty, Maillard reaction with the meat which gives it flavour

    Hi Suzy, my interest in Greek cooking started as a very young Uni student who had the good fortune to waitress at the Iliad Restaurant back in the day. My nickname was Bouboulina (after Bouboulina's Delight -a dish on the dessert menu). I saw many a moussaka and this year 2024, I decided to actually make your vegetarian version. Now that I've also seen the LAMB MINCE VERSION, i'VE GOT A BETTER HANDLE on how to make it. Thank you for the careful instructions. Next time I will add 1 TBSPN and not 1 Tspn of Oregano, and broil the eggplant and add the breadcrumbs which were not in that recipe, and not bake it. It was delicious by the way and it gave me a huge boost in confidence, so thank you. I love the dish as well that you use.
    Next will be the white Bean stove top hot dish. I am ok with fish but cannot face red meat as an ingredient.

      And since you came up again on my feed, I purchased the eggplant and had all of the rest ingredients to make today. My mom is full blooded Sicilian and goes crazy for it. She's in a nursing home, I make a lot of her food. I love to see her smile and this recipe definitely makes her smile. ThankQ for sharing it.🤩

      ​@@TheMediterraneanDishsince you don't know how to make this delicious Greek food, then don't ruin it. obviously the one who showed you how to make it had no idea how Greek moussaka is made. better watch Greek cooks on UA-cam to learn how it's made.

    I've ordered this dish at other Greek restaurants, the spices in the meat are never balanced, and sort of on the bland side. This lady's recipe is delicious. Every family makes dishes a little different. And like all recipes, you can alter the ingredients to fit your family's likes. Im Sicilian, Sicilian food also differs from household to household. If you prefer potatoes in it, then add potatoes! My family prefers fewer carbohydrates, so i follow this recipe fully. The bechemel is very rich & luxurious, it's more of a savory custard. I love the spices in this recipe. I haven't found a Greek restaurant yet who makes it better.
