Moussaka is a scrumptious signature Greek dish that brings the flavours and traditions of the Mediterranean to your plate. With crispy strips of eggplant mixed with layers of soft, rosemary infused potato, smothered with rich lamb sauce and creamy béchamel, this moussaka will make your tastebuds crave for more with every mouthful.
With different variations of this dish being prepared around the world, my good friends (and twins!) Helena and Vicki taught me how to make this moussaka dish, just like their YAYA (their Nonna!) – and it tastes just like an old family recipe should – DIVINE!

MOUSSAKA RECIPE
Ingredients for Moussaka:
Extra virgin olive oil
1 x finely diced brown onion
Potatoes
450g lamb mince
Dried oregano
Cinnamon
Fresh parsley
Salt and Pepper
Italian tomato sauce (700ml)
2 x large eggplants
Ingredients for the Béchamel Sauce:
50g butter
5 tablespoons plain flour
Salt & Pepper
Four cups milk
150g grated parmesan cheese
2 x egg yolks
METHOD:
1. To make moussaka, heat up a deep frying pan and add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil.
2. Then, add finely diced brown onion and stir well using a wooden spoon letting it sauté.
3. Mix through the lamb mince, with cinnamon, dried oregano and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
4. Break down the mince, mixing through all of the ingredients so they infuse the meat and it cooks through for the moussaka really well.
5. Leave the sauce to simmer for up to 30 minutes.
6. While the sauce for the moussaka is simmering, slice the eggplant into circular strips, making each one around 1cm thick.
7. Lightly grease a pan with oil, and grill the eggplants until they begin to change colour and soften.
8. Thinly slice the potatoes and then boil them until they soften and leave them to the side to infuse with a few sprigs of rosemary.

there was no PARMESAN to be found in Greece up until the 80's, so this is like an Australian-Italian Moussaka
yep it does taste like grease
Is it possible to have amounts for cinnamon etc
Hello it's origin belongs to turkey. :)) We called it MUSAKKA.
First the Potatoes then the Eggplant, to create a stabil base Not Parmesan but Cretan or Naxos Graviera, and always nutmeg on besamel. Other than that, the twin gilrs are doing it well👍
Viva le gnocche Greche!
My mom makes the best moussaka-Μουσακα
Dear Vincenzo . In the moussaka we put layers of potatoes, eggplants, some and zucchini, fried in olive oil, or baked in the oven, we cover with bolognese sauce and béchamel. We do not use rosemary in potatoes, nor oregano, nor of course parmesan but kefalotyri (cheese like Italian pecorino).
Moussaka comes from the East. It is found in the Balkans, the Middle East, Central Europe (Hungary) and Turkey. The Greek version of moussaka was created in the 1920s by chef Nikolaos Tselementes from the island of Sifnos. He gave the moussaka the shape we know today by adding the French béchamel on top and taking out the many spices.
you forgot to add potato in the recipie list 🙂
Just like my recipe but with some parmigiano. Thanks for sharing!
Κουκλαρες
I gotta tell you, life's pretty tough as a greek who really dislikes Moussaka.
Vincenzo speaks better Greek than us greeks lol
