Мусака is a traditional dish popular in several countries, particularly in the Balkans and Middle East. It typically consists of layers of eggplant, minced meat (often lamb or beef), and a creamy béchamel sauce. The ingredients are baked together, creating a hearty and flavorful meal. The dish varies by region; for example, in Greece, it often includes potatoes and is seasoned with spices like cinnamon. In Turkey, it may feature zucchini and a tomato sauce. Regardless of the variation, musaka is enjoyed for its rich taste and comforting texture.
