Moussaka with Rice

Answer 1

While typical recipes for moussaka generally call for eggplant as one of the primary ingredients, authentic traditional Greek moussaka is different. Its primary ingredients are potatoes and lamb. Bechamel sauce (a sort of cream sauce) is also common in moussaka recipes, as are cheese, onions, and herbs and spices.
