About Lamb moussaka
Lamb Moussaka is a classic dish originating from Greek cuisine, renowned for its rich flavors and comforting layers. Typically, it features ground lamb seasoned with garlic, onions, and aromatic spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, which are combined with tomatoes to create a hearty filling. This mixture is layered with slices of roasted eggplant or sometimes potatoes, then topped with a creamy béchamel sauce and baked to golden perfection. Nutritionally, Lamb Moussaka offers high-quality protein from lamb and a wealth of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber from eggplant and tomatoes. However, it can be high in saturated fat and calories due to the lamb, the béchamel sauce, and any additional cheese. Opting for leaner lamb, using minimal oil, or substituting lighter alternatives for some ingredients can make this flavorful dish a more balanced option in keeping with Mediterranean diet principles.
