HUNGRY MAN KITCHEN: Classic Greek Moussaka - Traditional and Delicious! | Reupload

Aug 11, 2023 | The word "Moussaka" itself has Arabic origins, derived from the word "musaqqa'a," which means "chilled." Early versions of this dish were made with layered vegetables and sometimes meat, then baked and served at room temperature.

The concept of layering and baking vegetables eventually spread to other parts of the Mediterranean, including Greece. Greek Moussaka, as we know it today, is said to have been adapted and popularized by the Greek population during the Ottoman era.

This widely known Greek version was created by the French-trained Greek chef Nikolaos Tselementes in the 1920s.
