Often compared to lasagna, Moussaka is far more aromatic, thanks to warm Mediterranean spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.\u2028The dish begins with slices of eggplant that are salted, rested, and lightly fried to achieve a soft, buttery texture. The meat sauce is slow-cooked with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and spices until thick and deeply flavorful. Finally, a luxurious b\u00e9chamel rich with milk, butter, and nutmeg is poured over the layers and baked until golden and slightly blistered.\u2028Moussaka is a celebration dish, traditionally served at family gatherings and Sunday meals. Its aroma fills the home with warmth, and each slice reveals a perfect cross-section of textures: soft eggplant, hearty meat, and creamy b\u00e9chamel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moussaka is Greece\u2019s most iconic baked dish a layered, comforting masterpiece that blends tender eggplant, spiced ground beef, and a silky b\u00e9chamel topping.
