Moussaka (moo-sah-KAH) is a Greek dish that typically features layers of eggplant and potato slices with a meat sauce made with either ground lamb or ground beef, but it can also be made with other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms. Traditionally, moussaka is topped with a creamy layer of rich béchamel sauce before melding into a savory masterpiece in the oven. The beauty of this recipe (besides great taste) is it's ability to freeze (and defrost) so well, with no loss of flavour, making it ideal for OAMC (once a month cooking).
