Vegetarian Moussaka is an eggplant and potato based dish, which is popular in Greece, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean. The word 'moussaka' comes from the Arabic meaning chilled, because it is eaten cold in the Arabic world. The modern version of vegetarian moussaka, which includes bechamel sauce, was developed by a Greek chef named normallyTselementes in the 1920s. The Turkish and Balkan contains pork; however, Tselementes also invented a vegetarian version of Moussaka without any meat or dairy. An updated variety of that can be found below. You will certainly love this dish! It contains many different vegetables and seasonings that will please your palette.
Vegetarian Moussaka has many beneficial ingredients for your health, such as potatoes, which are much healthier when the peel stays on. Potatoes sometimes get a bad reputation because of their carbohydrate content. Most people also eat them when they have been deep fried. However, you will find a high amount of vitamin C, B6, fibre, and potassium there. Potatoes also have a high phenolic content, which protects against cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems, and some cancers. They also decrease blood pressure. Vitamin B6 builds amino acids and aids in the production of serotonin, a lack of which is tied to depression, melatonin, which helps sleep, and norepinephrine, which improves our response to stress.
The recipe below has received rave reviews, and has been used by many of our customers! It only has 243 calories and 19% of the fibre you need for the day. It also has 10 grammes of protein, about 21% of your daily requirement. If you wish, you can add a side salad for even more vegetables. This is perfect for a warming dinner in the cold of winter. Everyone will enjoy it! Make sure you leave enough time to make this vegetarian moussaka as it is quite labour intensive to do well.
