🇪🇬 Egypt recipe
Moussaka (Egyptian Style)
Egyptian moussaka is a lighter, simpler dish than its Greek cousin, with no bechamel or layered casserole. Instead, slices of eggplant are fried until golden and then simmered in a robust, garlicky tomato sauce spiced with cumin and coriander. It is served at room temperature as part of a meze spread or as a vegetarian main course, and it tastes even better the next day.
