About this deal

Make the béchamel sauce by combining the flour and oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk well while cooking a few minutes until toasted. Bake and reheat: This is the way to go if you are short on time on the day you want to serve your moussaka. Bake it the day before, let it cool down, wrap it in cling film and store in the fridge. When you want to serve it, just pop it in the oven for 30 minutes at 150C / 300F to reheat. Finally sprinkle a bit of grated cheese on top. When your moussaka is baked, the cheese will melt and give it a delicious golden brown color!Your traditional Greek Moussaka is now ready to bake or to store it in the fridge and bake it later! Preparing your Moussaka in advance The step-by-step guide below should help you make the recipe perfectly first time. Scroll down to the end for the full recipe including ingredient amounts.

Bake from frozen: This is the way to go if you want to bake and serve your moussaka more than a couple of days later. When you have assembled your moussaka and it has fully cooled down, wrap it in cling film and store it in the freezer uncooked. Be careful to store it flat so the bechamel doesn’t pour out! It will keep for up to a month and be just as fresh when baked and served! To serve, heat up your oven to 180C/350F and bake it for about 1 hour 30 minutes, until it’s cooked through.

To assemble your Moussaka, start by layering your potatoes at the bottom of your baking dish.Split your aubergines in two lots. You’ll need the first lot to layer over the potatoes and the second lot to cover the meat sauce.Spread the first layer of aubergines over your potatoes. If you have too fewaubergines space them out a bit. If you have too many, overlap them a bit so they all fit! Moussaka is definitely a labor of love. It isn’t hard to make at all, but it does involve multiple steps and does take time to make. The good news however is that moussaka is a prime example of a dish that can be made well in advance and then simply popped in the oven before serving. More on that below.

What's the first food that comes to your mind when you think of Greek Cuisine? Is it A Greek Salad? A Tzatziki Dip? Or is it Moussaka? In contrary to the other two that are so healthy light and refreshing, Moussaka represents the other part of Greek Cuisine... - the sinful deliciousness! Aka, spiced, saucy, greasy foods you can't say no to... What Is Moussaka Made Of?If you’d prefer to cut the eggplant into vertical slices instead of rounds, you can do that as well. Layering a moussaka is a lot like layering a lasagna. First, start with the sliced roasted aubergine and par-boiled potatoes. This layer forms the base of the moussaka and helps to contain the meat sauce. It is best if you start by making the Ground Beef Sauce. It takes about 1 hour to cook so meanwhile, you can prepare the remaining layers. The sauce is more or less like a Greek-style Bolognese sauce with spices like cloves, and allspice. The Authentic French recipe for a Bechamel sauce calls for clarified butter. Meaning the butter that's separated from its milk content. That's because milk gets burned when making the "roux" (the base) resulting in a heavy, burned milk flavor. Therefore a heavier cream. Also, it makes the cream more prone to form lumps as the texture of the base is denser. My Cheat-sheet Bechamel Cream If you’ve made a double batch or want to freeze the one you made for later, the best way is to freeze it before you bake it. It will freeze for up to two months, and you can thaw it the night before you want to serve it. Then bake as usual.

Lay your eggplant slices down in a single layer and sprinkle generously with salt. Add the meat, tomatoes, pepper flakes and 200 ml water. Mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and leave to simmer until the tomatoes have broken down and the flavours are starting to set, at least 10-15 minutes.

Love that creamy béchamel? If you love moussaka, then I am sure you will fall in love with the traditional pastitsio, the Greek version of Lasagne! Select two large potatoes and 2-3 eggplants, depending on size. I only ended up needing two eggplants. A classic moussaka is made of ground lamb (lamb mince), but I’ve found that most restaurants in Greece make theirs out of ground beef (beef mince). To be frank, beef is cheaper and easier to get hold of, so who can blame them? Bake on the day: This is the way to go if you want your moussaka to be piping hot and fresh for your big day! When you have assembled your moussaka, let it cool down, wrap it with cling film and store it in the fridge uncooked. Then go ahead and bake it on the day for about 1 hour at 180C/350F.

Cooking brush– it may seem like a trivial thing, but a cooking brush is a godsend when it comes to roasting vegetables, especially aubergines. Too much oil and it’ll turn into a sloppy mesh. Not enough and it’ll be dry as a bone. Brush a thin layer to get it just right For me, the final touch is some tsatziki sauce to serve on the side. It only takes 10 minutes to make, but even just plain Greek yogurt works if you want to keep things super simple.
