One of my favorite recipes from Greek cuisine is the moussaka. Gordon Ramsay’s moussaka is made in three parts. First, you fry the aubergines. Then, you make the bechamel sauce, and lastly, the ragu. Then, these are layered and baked to make the perfect moussaka by Gordon Ramsay.

Moussaka is a very popular dish in Greece and a new and trendy recipe for the world. Some people call it the Greek version of a lasagna which is not entirely wrong. This is because moussaka also has layers and has different sauces and generous amounts of cheese. 

To make Gordon Ramsay’s moussaka, fry the aubergines until brown. Then, make bechamel sauce by cooking flour in butter and then add milk to it. After that, cook beef with onions, garlic, celery, wine, and whole spices. Add tomato puree and paste, and cook it for 2 hours. In a deep baking dish, layer aubergines, ragu, and bechamel and bake for 30 minutes.
