Moussaka, a classic greek recipe

Greek cuisine has the best features of Mediterranean cuisine, which is very healthy and tasty. It also has features of Middle Eastern gourmet culture. Olive oil, tomatoes, eggplants, wheat and cheese are the common ingredients of this cuisine.

The Moussaka is, in principle, a casserole of vegetables and meat (lamb in this case) with bechamel sauce. For those who prefer a vegetarian version, the lamb can be replaced with more vegetables, like mushrooms, carrots or potatoes.
