Moussaka Stack (21 Day Wonder Diet: Day 16) image

This is Day 16: Dinner on the 21 Day Wonder diet. This is my absolute favourite dish on this diet! Moussaka is one of my favourite dishes of all time, and I was thinking the "diet" version would be a major let-down...Not so! The flavours are all there, and it satisfied the craving I was having for some good Greek food! You can use baby spinach instead of rocket, if you want.

I'm going to try roasting the vegetables before assembling the moussaka. Thanks for the inspiration!

I added sliced zucchini to this recipe, which was a great addition. This recipe is now my go-to.

I'm making a dairy-free version of this by using 2% soy milk instead of cow's milk.

:star: Rating: 3/5. This was okay, but not as good as other moussaka I've had.

I'm going to try making this in the air fryer instead of the oven. I'll let you know how it works out.

My mom used to make moussaka all the time when I was growing up. This recipe reminds me of her cooking.

I'm not sure this recipe is anything special. There are better versions of moussaka out there.
