In dishes like mousakas where there are so many other flavors, the slight bitterness of the eggplant enhances the dish.

Our daughter who was with us in Greece this summer too and we had plenty of opportunities to eat fava, loved it. So High recommendations from what I see on the mousaka too. <br />The reason I comment on this recipe is because I have a question for the plate that you have Gellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08306960155605754294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998452736393635440.post-12094350267230728722014-10-23T00:11:29.054+02:002014-10-23T00:11:29.054+02:00This looks great!

Glad to know the Greek truth! I love that your version has the potatoes and zucchini, as I do think that makes it lighter. Can't wait to try it!

Hope it makes sense. You can write it either way :)<br />No, Greeks don't eat as much lamb as people think.
