10Moussaka (Greece)
Few dishes represent Greek comfort food better than moussaka. This hearty baked casserole layers slices of eggplant with seasoned minced meat, usually lamb or beef, and tops everything with a creamy béchamel sauce before being baked until golden.
Every Greek family has its own recipe, and regional variations may include potatoes or zucchini. The combination of rich meat, tender vegetables, and velvety sauce makes moussaka one of the country’s most beloved dishes. Pair it with a traditional Greek salad and a glass of local wine for the full experience.
