About Mousaka
Moussaka is a classic Mediterranean dish, most famously associated with Greek cuisine. This hearty casserole typically layers sautéed eggplant, ground meat (commonly beef or lamb), and a rich, spiced tomato sauce, all topped with a creamy béchamel sauce before being baked to golden perfection. Variations of moussaka exist across the Mediterranean and Middle East, featuring additional ingredients like zucchini or potatoes. Nutritionally, moussaka is a source of protein from the meat and essential vitamins and fiber from the eggplant and other vegetables. However, its béchamel topping and potential use of oil in preparation can make it relatively high in fat and calories. To enhance its healthiness, lighter versions can incorporate leaner meats, less oil, and low-fat dairy alternatives. Perfect as a satisfying comfort food, moussaka offers a flavorful way to enjoy wholesome ingredients, though portion control is key for balanced eating.
