Moussaka “From Greece” Recipe
It so happened that for 3 weeks I was with my family in beautiful and still warm Greece. This is not my first visit, and moussaka is my old love. But this time I have a 5-month-old daughter with me, and it’s almost impossible to go to taverns and eat this magical dish. Well, we don’t like restaurants here); So I decided to cook moussaka at home. I didn’t find a similar recipe on the website. It is based on a recipe from the Greek forum and slightly adapted. Share the result.
