Our Disclaimer (The serious stuff)

By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site. After all, the only person who controls what you put in your mouth is you, right?

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Spoonacular is not responsible for any adverse effects or damages that occur because of your use of the website or any information it provides (e.g. after cooking/consuming a recipe on spoonacular.com or on any of the sites we link to, after reading information from articles or shared via social media, etc.)

Moussaka works really well with White Wine, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient. If you feel like going Greek with your Greek food, assyrtiko and moschofilero are both lovely white wines to pair with chicken, seafood, etc. Agiorgitiko is a full bodied red suitable for roasted meats and lamb. The HoneyRun 3 Bottle Sampler: Mead, Blackberry, Elderberry Wine with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 39 dollars per bottle.

Instructions

  1. CUT eggplant into 1/4" (5mm) thick slices. Layer in colander, sprinkling each layer with salt. Let stand 30 minutes.
  2. RINSE eggplant; pat dry. Place in single layer on baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Broil, turning once for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until golden and softened. Set aside. Repeat until all eggplants are cooked.
  3. SAUTE zucchini in large oiled frying pan until tender-crisp. Set aside.
  4. Meat Sauce:COOK lamb in large saucepan on high heat, breaking up with spoon, for 5 minutes. Drain off fat. Add onions, garlic and oregano. Cook on medium for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and wine. Simmer 10 minutes, or until mixture starts to thicken. Stir in parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  5. White Sauce:MELT margarine in large saucepan. Add flour, mixing until smooth. Gradually add milk. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened. Add salt and nutmeg. Add a bit of hot mixture to beaten eggs then return to saucepan and cook 2 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
  6. To Assemble:Tips:Place pan on a baking sheet or piece of foil to catch any drips that may boil over.
  7. MAKE-AHEAD: After assembling, cool completely, uncovered in refrigerator. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 day or overwrap with heavy foil and freeze up to 3 weeks. Thaw in refrigerator 48 hours before baking.
  8. Replace lamb with beef.
  9. A thin bottom layer of sauteed sliced potatoes can be added.
  10. A make-ahead layered Greek casserole that's ideal for potlucks and family reunions.
