Maghmour \u2013 Lebanese Moussaka<\/h3>
Pane-Bistecca<\/div><\/div>\n
\n Maghmour is often called \u201cLebanese moussaka,\u201d but why? I don’t think it has anything in common with moussaka. Sure, it has tomato sauce too, but that’s where the similarities end.

\n Moussaka is a dish that is popular throughout the Middle East, the eastern Mediterranean, and the Balkans. Most versions are made with eggplant, while some use potatoes, tomato sauce, and sometimes meat.

\nThe word \u201cmoussaka\u201d itself is derived from the Arabic \u201cmusaqqa\u2019a,\u201d which suggests a likely Levantine origin.

\nIn the birthplace of agriculture and many culinary delights, moussaka is a meze dish made from these very ingredients, plus chickpeas. It can be eaten warm, but is usually enjoyed at room temperature along with several other small dishes. It is also known by other names, such as maghmour or moussaka batinjan.

\nIn their original form, the eggplants were fried in plenty of local olive oil. This is what makes the eggplants so tender and juicy, and it\u2019s a common cooking method in Middle Eastern eggplant recipes. If the olive oil is of good quality, the flavor is hard to beat.

\nThese days, however, many people choose to roast the eggplants instead. I wouldn’t say they’re quite as delicious, but they come so close that I decided to go with this method.\n
