Greek moussaka
Moussaka is a hearty Greek casserole featuring layers of eggplant, spiced ground lamb, and a creamy béchamel sauce on top. The rich, savory flavors with notes of cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg in the meat layer paired with the creamy béchamel call for wines with good structure and beers with sufficient malt character to complement without overwhelming.
