Today I’m sharing a recipe for moussaka. It’s not traditional in the sense that it’s not layered and that it doesn’t include a béchamel sauce. Variations of this dish are common in many cultures…Greece, Turkey, Egypt, etc. My sister-in-law gave me this recipe (which was given to her by her mother-in-law) back when Joe and I lived in a 400 square foot apartment and didn’t have an oven. Everything can be cooked on the stove. It’s become a favorite in our family, and even the girls love it. There’s a reason so many different people are making variations of this dish: it’s so incredibly comforting and full of flavor. Moussaka utilizes all the end of summer produce and helps get me in the mood for fall stews, soups, and roasted fall vegetables!

We’ve been receiving lots of eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, and onions in our From the Farmer box, so I knew moussaka would be on the menu for us! I’ve so loved our weekly produce deliveries, and am so thankful for companies like From the Farmer who take care of produce shopping for me! The produce has been so incredibly fresh, and it’s been fun experimenting with whatever comes in our box each week! You can use the code ADAILYSOMETHING2016 for $20 off your first delivery!
