Lentil Moussaka is a plant-based twist on the classic Mediterranean dish, blending rich flavors and wholesome ingredients. Originating from Greek cuisine, this hearty casserole layers tender roasted eggplant, a savory lentil and tomato filling, and a creamy béchamel-style topping made with plant milk or yogurt for a dairy-free option. Protein-packed lentils provide a nutritious base, offering fiber, iron, and essential vitamins, while eggplants are low in calories and high in antioxidants. The addition of herbs like oregano and cinnamon enhances both flavor and digestion. This version is typically lower in saturated fats than the traditional meat-based moussaka, making it a heart-friendly choice. However, to keep it balanced, consider portion sizes, as béchamel sauces—even plant-based ones—can be calorie-dense. Perfect for vegetarians or anyone exploring healthier comfort foods, Lentil Moussaka is both satisfying and nutritious.
