In this post, I present the recipe of a very famous dish in the Arab world, in fact it is well known all around the Mediterranean region. It is called (\u0645\u0633\u0642\u0639\u0629), in English Moussaka. It is obvious that the English name is derived from Arabic, and the word Arabic means cold because this dish is best eaten cold!<\/p>\n

The main components of the dish are eggplant (\u0628\u0627\u0630\u0646\u062c\u0627\u0646), peppers (\u0641\u0644\u0641\u0644), tomatoes (\u0637\u0645\u0627\u0637\u0645) and spices (\u062a\u0648\u0627\u0628\u0644). There are many ways of cooking Moussaka, some of them are vegetarian while others contain meat. I prefer the simplest ways.<\/p>\n
