Aubergine moussaka: A hearty and delicious dish for the whole family

When winter is going strong and you want some great family food, pasta is a great way to go. However, things change between countries and regions, making some new and fantastic food for us to try. One of those great new additions is moussaka. It’s very similar to lasanga with layers of beef and bechamel, but instead of pasta, uses eggplant. Our aubergine moussaka is a great edition to any family dinner table.

Aubergine moussaka

You can try our own homemade Italian beef and tomato sauce you often make for spaghetti or a similar one below. You can either start by cooking the aubergines over and open flame, peel them and then fry in oil, or go more rustic and fry them with the skins on. Use a mandoline slicer for thin and even slices of eggplant. For the top layer, feel free to add low moisture mozzarella and bake until golden brown and deliciously bubbly.

Countries along the Mediterranean love food as much as we do in South Africa. Try our traditional Greek aubergine moussaka with your family.
