Traditional Greek moussaka takes a long time to cook, as it usually consists of several layers of vegetables that are fried separately in oil and then baked in sauce. Our moussaka takes only 40 minutes, but this makes it no less tasty, and it can be prepared on weekdays after work. Leave the traditional recipe for the weekend.
