Many of our customers may recognize Moussaka as a Greek dish that vaguely resembles a "shepherd's pie". It turns out that Moussaka is actually an Arabic word referring to a common Middle Eastern vegetable stew, often served cold. The better-known Greek dish Moussaka is made with spiced ground lamb, eggplant, tomato and crust topped with a creamy Bechamel sauce. However, in the Arab Mediterranean, Moussaka is prepared as shown in this recipe. Since we're serving a Western audience, we'll differentiate the dishes by calling this version Lebanese Moussaka (aka Maghmour). Clear as mud?
