History
Moussaka's history is shrouded in mystery. A very similar dish appears in a 13th century Arabic cookbook, and thus it seems likely that it came to Greece from that region. Food historians say it is descended from the Arabian dish maghmuna or musakhkhan. Versions can be found in Turkey and Lebanon as well. -
