    I have made moussaka but have cheated with white and bolognase sauce. A hit in my house. I want to try the potato version and also vegeterian one. Two thumbs up for moussaka :)

    I love moussaka, but did not realize it could be made vegetarian. Thanks for sharing these great recipes.

    I first tried moussaka when I was an international exchange student living in Greece. Of course, everything tastes better in Greece. I've not tried making this myself yet. Thank you for the recipes and instructions.

    I love Moussaka, my husband is Cypriot so Moussaka is one of his favourites too.
    great lens.

    This dish is more than good. I have tried the real ones. There is a Greek woman, my friend, that made it for me more than once. Strong recommendations to try it! Blessings for topping.

    The moussakas I ate in Greece had the potatoes layers, and I could have eaten them morning, lunch, and dinners non-stop. I want to try the lentils one. Great lens!

    I love Moussaka and I do it at least once a month. I use to make it with potatoes, as it is the most tasty for me. Here in Cyprus you can find it also layered with macaroni in some restaurants.

    I've never even heard of Moussaka before stumbling across this lens and I suddenly feel like I've been missing out. This looks very tasty and I can't wait to try out the recipe! Great lens!

    I like moussaka and i might try out your vegetarian moussaka but is it printable?
  • flighty02 Jan 25, 2012 @ 9:56 am | delete
    Yes, it is printable dolphinstar... the link is at the end of the recipe, you will be taken to the pdf on Google Documents then just click on the printer icon in the top left corner.

    Oh, hooray! I have wanted an authentic moussaka recipe for years, ever since a friend, who had lived in Greece for some time, served vegetarian moussaka. I have never had another moussaka as good. Your vegetarian recipe has the spices and vegetables I remember, though I don't believe they used peppers in theirs. Can't wait to try this!

    Yummy! I often make moussaka as it's one of very common dishes in Croatia, passed over to us during the time when Ottoman Turks invaded and occupied Bosnia (our neighboring country). Here's it usually made with beef and kids love it. Very good lens!

    Awesome job! If one must eat eggplant, this is one of the best ways to do it (that and parmigiana, of course but this is my favorite)! You did a terrific job and you definitely deserve a Flyby Winging! You can see your blessed lens there! :) ~Ren

    I love lamb and I love eggplant but it never occurred to me to combine them. This sounds delicious, I'm going to have to try it.
  • _Hana_ Oct 11, 2011 @ 2:16 pm | delete
    I love moussaka, however I don't use aubergines because I don't like them, and I put sliced hard boiled eggs among the potatoes - delicious!

    I am Greek and I L O V E moussaka! Your recipes are truly great! You've made very good work! Keep it up!

    I chose this lens as a Related Lens for my lens, "Everyday Exotic Spices" because I love Greek food!!! Especially moussaka.
  • GardenCherub Aug 23, 2011 @ 4:52 pm | delete
    Before this, I couldn't have told you what moussaka is. Now I've got to try it. Since I'm a mediocre cook, this much detailed instruction is greatly appreciated. Thank you for visiting and liking my lens! Best wishes.

    Great moussaka recipes. I'm going to try them all. Sprinkled with dust from the Angel of the farmyard on a Back to School Field Trip.

    The classic Greek mousaka has potatoes also. And we don't use yogurt on the top only bechamel. That is ...if you want to make the traditional Greek musaka. Cheers

    This is a great recipe lens; I like how you separated the steps and provided tons of images. I've had moussaka (vegetarian) once, about 13 years ago. It felt like a fancy shepherd's pie and didn't wow me. I like most Greek food, but this isn't a dish I'm eager to revisit.
  • Lindrus Jul 29, 2011 @ 1:13 am | delete
    I love Greek food and will have to try one of your moussaka recipes. Thanks for sharing!
  • blanckj Jul 26, 2011 @ 6:58 am | delete
    Great lens. I love Moussaka but don't have it very often. There are a few Greek restaurants nearby but they don't have excellent Moussaka, just okay. Thanks for the recipes.

    I adore Moussaka, it's one of my favorite dishes. On the island of Karpathos they put cinnamon in it as well and it tastes delicious!
  • Helenee Jul 5, 2011 @ 1:48 pm | delete
    "Moussaka isn't the most healthy dish on the planet" -- I laughed a lot with this one!
    I usually make moussaka with aubergines and potatoes (not courgettes), but this veggie version looked appealing, I will definitely give it a try, I like vegetarian dishes.

    Mmm, I remember eating Moussaka, tastes so good! Never tried making it though - maybe this will encourage me to try.
  • Rafick Feb 22, 2011 @ 12:32 pm | delete
    Nice lens. I love moussaka. Thank you for the great recipe.
  • Gloriousconfusion Feb 14, 2011 @ 7:18 pm | delete
    Lovely lens, and I love moussaka. I bought a bottle of roasted aubergine the other day, from a Turkish shop, so I might see what I can do with that - never seen it before.

    I like the moussaka! My recipe is a little different but both recipes are delicious ( I make it with beef, not lamb)
    Regards

    I can wait to make your moussaka recipe. i really like the idea of using yoghurt for a lighter bake. Thanks for a great lens
  • arncyn Sep 24, 2010 @ 12:13 am | delete
    I just love moussaka! I've never tried to make it though so thank you for sharing your favorite recipe with us.

    We are studying Greece in our homeschool this month and will be preparing Moussaka for dinner this week. Thank you for the clear directions and pictures. This lens is very beautifully done and makes this recipe seem a lot less intimidating.

    Oh I just love Moussaka and this is a recipe I really must try! Thank you!!

    Yummy lens. I make my moussaka without lamb, but it's a truly satisfying dish. Blessed by a Squid Angel.

This Greek moussaka recipe is slightly different in that I use a yogurt based topping to give a 'lighter' moussaka.
