As Pil... It was a great success, I’m happy to say. As Pille, rightly, says, ‘every Greek cook has their special moussaka recipe’. So I was pleasantly surprised (and my partner too) to discover a different way to serve moussaka to the one we’re used to… as Pille’s title suggests, this recipe, in a way, ‘deconstructs’ moussaka. It doesn’t use bechamel, making it much lighter and easier to make as a quick, everyday supper.

Had never thought of adding it to a savoury meat dish - I'll probably ask you for the recipe soon!<BR/><BR/>Michele - it was easy-peasy indeed - and I hope you'll like it, too! Although it'll probably be a while before you get tired of all the French offerings and decide to cook something else from the continent:)<BR/><BR/>Joey - I will try to make a 'proper' moussaka soon, but meanwhile this will have to do:)<BR/><BR/>J - thanks for you kind words! I'll have my Greek beau ask his mum/grandma about the exact meaning of moussaka, but indeed, Hoffman suggests it's not necessarily a meat/aubergine/bechamel affair at all.Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1126668567409264512005-09-14T06:29:00.000+03:002005-09-14T06:29:00.000+03:00hi pille, a deconstructionist moussaka...how's tha...hi pille, a deconstructionist moussaka...how's that for food as art ;) i never knew moussaka referred to any vegetable casserole...thanks for the recipe and a wonderful post, as always...Joycelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620313183747360569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1126630508433109382005-09-13T19:55:00.000+03:002005-09-13T19:55:00.000+03:00Oooh!

I had no idea that any vegetable casserole can be called moussaka - like everyone else I assumed it had to be aubergines, meat and bechamel. I've actually made something similar to this but using ricotta cheese instead of feta, but I'll definitely have to give feta a try!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-1126609133571847602005-09-13T13:58:00.000+03:002005-09-13T13:58:00.000+03:00This looks good.
