Description
Moussaka is a flagship dish of Greek cuisine, a culinary symbol of Greece. It is a layered casserole made with eggplant, minced meat in an aromatic tomato sauce, and creamy béchamel. Each layer brings something unique - the eggplant adds an earthy flavor, the meat with cinnamon and nutmeg introduces oriental notes, and the béchamel provides a velvety creaminess. Moussaka requires a bit of time to prepare, but the final result - a golden, aromatic casserole - is worth every effort. This dish is perfect for family dinners.
