Thanks for the advice. I steamed sweet potatoes

Fantastic thank you. I added wine, but it made it too runny, still very delicious. Maybe next time simmer it off longer. I thought the topping would be too runny, but it stiffened up beautifully on cooking. A huge hit with the family.

Yum!! I didn't steam the potatoes. Cut them very thin and they cooked well. I forgot the egg through the bechamel sauce at the end so mine was a tad runny but the flavours were delicious and I'd definately make again!
Really tasty.

Great recipe, easy to make and tastes great
Loved this! Husband usually
Loved this! Husband usually doesn't like eggplant, but he devoured the moussaka. Easy to prepare in stages. I steamed the potatoes in the microwave to save time.
Loved it! Used feta instead
Loved it! Used feta instead of the kefalograviera cheese.
tasted fantastic
Hi, am in the middle of
Hi, am in the middle of cooking this now - do I add the 500 ml water to the sauce to steam the potatoes or do I take the sauce out first?

loved this, didn't have
loved this, didn't have potatoes but will add next time. I didn't fry my eggplant either as prefer the taste, so skipped that step but still loved this recipe. Thankyou

Hi, I'm about to start
Hi, I'm about to start cooking this recipe and just have a couple of comments for you...
1) you don't mention Tomato Paste in the Ingredients yet you do in the Preparation (so I'm not sure how much to put in - will guess 2 tablespoons)
2) you mention a cinnamon quill in the Ingredients yet you do not mention what to do with it in the Preparation (I'm guessing you add it at the nutmeg step?)
3) Kefalograviera cheese - you talk about 100gms in the Ingredients list and in the Preparation you talk about 'place cubed cheeses' and then 'grate with extra' so not sure how much where etc.... (will just take a guess based on our families fondness of cheese)
Recipe sounds very nice and I'm happy to give it a go.
Loved this dish even though
Loved this dish even though it took a long time to prepare. My partner and son loved it too and they dont normally like eggplant. Will be cooking it again soon.
