About Eggplant moussaka
Eggplant Moussaka is a flavorful Mediterranean dish originating from Greece and the Middle East, celebrated for its layers of tender eggplant, seasoned ground meat, tomato sauce, and creamy béchamel. Traditionally baked to perfection, this comfort food harmonizes rich spices like cinnamon and nutmeg with robust flavors of garlic and onion. Its main ingredient, eggplant, is a nutrient-dense vegetable rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins. The tomato-based sauce contributes lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, while moderate amounts of olive oil provide healthy fats. Protein comes from ground lamb or beef. However, the béchamel sauce, often made with butter and milk, adds calories and saturated fat, which may be a concern for those watching their intake. Modern variations use leaner meats or plant-based alternatives to enhance its nutrition profile, making Eggplant Moussaka a versatile dish that can fit into a balanced diet.
