How To Make Greek Moussaka | Akis Petretzikis

The wonderful Akis Petretzikis has a fantastic moussaka recipe using baked vegetables instead of fried to make it that little bit lighter. Delicious layers of potato, aubergine, courgette and beef, all topped off with a creamy béchamel sauce and a handful of parmesan. The perfect tasty teatime treat.

The recipes are easy to follow. It is an added bonus that the chef is easy on the eyes.

I made this today...OMG.. I substituted Gardien "veggie ground round" instead of beef and wow!! Since it wasn't going to be vegan I added anchovy paste to the meat substitute (1 pkg) and around 2 cups of chopped cremini mushrooms. It was unbelievable. SOOO Good!! I took pics!! Thanks Akis... I will meet you in Greece!
