  • Moussaka is quite possibly the most iconic Greek recipe in the world. It is, of course, a rich mixture of spiced ground meat sauce, eggplant (and sometimes potatoes and/or zucchini), and bechamel, often made even richer with the addition of Greek cheeses as feta. This delicious vegan moussaka recipe will delight the most diehard traditionalists, though! It is an excellent combination of classic Mediterranean diet ingredients, such as vegetables and beans, all the wonderful robust flavors associated with Greek cooking, and a few new techniques that will surprise you. It is a healthy, delicious version - you could almost place it in the category of Greek bean recipes! - of a traditional Greek classic and one of my favorite Greek recipes from season 4 of My Greek Table! Serve this with a Greek red wine, such as a Naoussa Xinomavro.
    To make this recipe you'll need:
    Ingredients
    2 sweet potatoes peeled and sliced into thin oval slices
    3 large eggplants trimmed and sliced into long thin ovals
    Extra virgin Greek olive oil
    2 large red onions chopped
    4 garlic cloves chopped
    3 cups cooked black beans
    1 cup canned chickpeas keep liquid
    1 ½ cup chopped canned tomatoes
    2 Tbsp tomato paste
    ½ cup red wine
    1 cinnamon stick
    2 dried or fresh bay leaves
    4 allspice berries
    Dried Greek oregano to taste
    1 - 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
    2 Tbsp petimezi
    Seasalt and pepper to taste
    For the Bechamel:
    Leftover liquid from 1 can of chickpeas aqua faba, used above
    4 Tbsp extra virgin Greek olive oil
    4 scant Tbsp all-purpose flour
    2 cups coconut milk
    2 cups almond milk
    Salt and white pepper to taste
    ½ cup breadcrumbs
    Grated nutmeg to taste

    Thank You Diane, Greetings from Finland!
    You nailed it! My family loves Greek food and my daughters family is vegan. I have tried so many veganized recipes, but this is the Best! The flavours are in balance , the clever combination with coconut and almond milk, also aqua fava on the sauce plus black beans with chick beans! They just ask me to cook it every week, children love it!
    Sometimes there are too many strong flavours and no harmony but in this recipe -everything is spot on!
    What about vegan pastitsio? I have tried many vegan recipes, but somehow too heavy and no balance in flavours.
    Thanks a lot!

      Δεν έχεις ακούσει ποτέ για νηστεία και νηστίσιμα φαγητά και είσαι Έλληνας; Περίεργο.

      What about all Greek Orthodox who eat Vegan during the various Fast periods!

    Please spare us all!
    Moussaka is purely an Arabic dish originating from the Levant, the word itself stands for it! How on earth and when did it become an iconic Greek dish, for God's sake?!
    Stop this adopting any dish around to Greek cuisine, it really gets annoying!
    Do you prepare moussaka as well? Great! Please give the recipe and let us try it all in your style. Just don't say it is Greek!
