Greek Moussaka (Μουσακάς) 

It is a dish based on aubergines, potatoes and minced meat, usually lamb. It consists of three layers that are separately cooked before being combined for the final baking:: a bottom layer of sliced aubergines and potatoes sauteed in olive oil; a middle layer of minced meat cooked with chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic and spices (cinnamon, black pepper); and a top layer of Bechamel sauce made from milk, butter, flour, eggs and nutmeg as a seasoning base. The composed dish is then layered into a tray and baked until the top layer is browned. Moussaka is cooked especially in summer.
