This takes a bit of time to prepare, but it’s definitely worth it. We’re sure this will become your go to comfort food, because it’s just that good. It has layers of potatoes, tomato sauce with soya mince and lentils and creamy sauce on top. Moussaka is really filling and so delicious, perfect for lunch or dinner!
Filling
Filling is made with only healthy ingredients: tomato sauce, soya mince, lentils, onion and spices. We love to use soya mince in our dishes, since it’s a great source of protein and has a neutral taste so it absorbs flavours very well. Soya mince is really easy to prepare. It’s usually dry when you purchase it and has to be soaked to use it.
We just pour some boiling water over it and leave it for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the water. Then you can also use it for bolognese sauce, lasagna, stuffed sweet potato and eggplant… There are so many options!
Creamy sauce
In our opinion the best part of this amazing moussaka is the creamy sauce on top. It adds a final touch to this amazing dish. It’s perfectly creamy, thick and tastes heavenly. It’s made with:
- tofu,
- soy cream,
- soy sauce, nutritional yeast,
- corn starch,
- salt and
- garlic powder.
And it’s so quick to make, you just put al the ingredients into a blender and blend into a smooth cream. And when it is baked it forms a perfect thin crunchy crust on top.
