Greek Moussaka.

Hello everybody.

Prepared and bought this dish ingredients since Saturday, since my youngest is on a trip so it’s an opportunity to cook it cause he usually grumbles when I make it.

Though I did post it long time ago but i’ll write it again, today’s photos are much nicer than the beginning ones. Greek moussaka is a different version of (منزله باذنجان) cause it has white sauce on top and you can add veggies with it , today I added some potatoes and courgettes.
