Greek Moussaka
This is a dish that embodies a labour of love. It takes a bit of time and energy to make it, but it is worth every ounce of energy once you take that first bite. It is so full of flavour, perfectly balanced between creamy and meaty, and makes for the perfect comfort meal. It’s a traditional Greek dish, and this is the closest I’ve managed to get it to the Moussaka we had when we visited Crete. It’s also one of those perfect dishes to make double of, then keep in the freezer for a day when you want some comfort food instantly.
Marinated Minty Grilled Eggplant
If you don’t love eggplant, try this recipe, then tell me if you still don’t like it. The eggplant is cut into thin disks, grilled for a bit of char, then marinated to soak up all of the minty flavours. It is so delicious, fresh, and they keep a firm texture, so it’s not the smooshy texture most people associate with eggplant. It pairs well with any Mediterranean dish as a lovely side.
