Moussaka (Greek: moussakas; Romanian: musaca; Turkish: musakka; South Slavic; Arabic: musaqqaa) Traditionally, eggplant (based on eggplant) is placed on the bottom of the dish and on the top layer Layers of minced lamb and diced eggplant are baked with white sauce. In the Western world, moussaka is cooked primarily with tomatoes and eggplant, similar to caponata, and in the West moussaka is often called a Greek dish. Bulgarian and Romanian versions are made with instead of eggplant.

In the standard (3-layered Moussaka) Greek recipe, the bottom layer consists of sliced ??eggplant, a middle layer of mashed and cooked lamb and tomatoes, and a top layer of sauce. The butter can be omitted here, used sparingly, or replaced by cheese crumbs sprinkled on top.

Variations on this recipe: sometimes without sauce, sometimes with other dishes. The most consistent variations in Greek (or British) include courgettes, potatoes or mushrooms in addition to eggplant. Some versions (in Greek recipes) include Tselementes without meat or sauce, in which the eggplant base of the main dish is replaced with minced meat, topped with tomato sauce and bread crumbs.
