Greek moussaka, week 3 of 52 week cooking challenge

This weeks theme is Greek. I looked through my old Greek cookbook, which I brougt home from a trip to Rhodes 25 years ago. I saw many great recipes but still decided to make a moussaka. The weather is frightful tonight, so a nice warming oven dish is very welcome. The moussaka recipe in the old book was so simple that it even looked a bit bland to me, so I googled a bit and came up with a nice recipe using a bit more spices and herbs. It’s simple and delicious on your table in less than an hour.

If you click the link above you will find the recipe I followed. I esspecially like the hint of cinnamon in the meat/tomatoe sauce. As I’m quite fond of eggplants nowadays I’m sure I wil make more of this. Another plus of this recipe is that there’s no pasta, rice or patatoes involved, nice to know when you’re careful with carbs.
