  • About

There are many versions of moussaka across the Mediterranean. This rustic Egyptian moussaka, which is a blend of air-fried eggplants, onions, and peppers layered over beef stewed in a rich tomato sauce. This simple yet pure comfort dish is served over buttery vermicelli rice and finished with toasted pine nuts. A crisp, tangy, and fresh Greek salad adds freshness and flavor. A dollop of Greek yogurt brightens your palate and brings a creamy and tangy feel to this meal.
