About this

Moussaka in Albania, known locally as musaka, is a hearty baked casserole typically made with layers of sliced potatoes, ground beef or lamb, onions, and sometimes eggplant or zucchini, seasoned with spices like paprika and black pepper. It's often topped with a simple egg or yogurt mixture rather than the richer béchamel sauce found in Greek versions, and it's commonly served as a main dish in homes and modest eateries, reflecting the country's Balkan culinary influences.
