Moussaka is to the Greek what Lasagna is to Italians. A rich tomato meat sauce layered with eggplant instead of pasta sheets, and topped with a thick layer of béchamel sauce, this traditional Greek recipe takes time to assemble - but it's well worth the effort. Pour the bechamel over the top of the meat sauce and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. This classic Greek moussaka recipe is made by layering eggplant and potatoes with a spiced meat filling and topping it with a béchamel sauce. Then, there's the Bechamel sauce which should be thick but never lumpy.
