Maurice's Ready Made Moussaka

A generational recipe layered with grilled vegetables, rich meat sauce, and creamy béchamel

Maurice’s moussaka is the dish his family has gathered around for generations – a true Greek classic that takes patience, care, and technique to get just right. Thinly sliced potatoes form the base, grilled until golden to concentrate their flavour and keep the dish from turning watery. On top sits a rich bolognese made from a blend of beef and pork simmered with tomatoes, oregano, thyme, and just a touch of cinnamon – that unmistakable Greek twist that sets moussaka apart from lasagne. Layered again with silky grilled eggplant and finally crowned with a generous, thick béchamel sauce that browns beautifully in the oven, this is a meal that tastes like family tradition on a plate.

Available in both single, 2 person and family sizes, Maurice’s moussaka is oven-ready and goes straight from freezer to table in under 90 minutes. The secret lies not just in the layering but in the techniques: grilling the vegetables first for flavour and structure, using beef and pork together for balance, and finishing with a béchamel that’s rich, creamy, and indulgent. Just as important is the pause after baking – a 10–15 minute rest so the layers hold together for perfect slices. This is Mediterranean food at its most generous, deeply rooted in Greek hospitality and perfect for special occasions or whenever you want something substantial and satisfying.

• Hi, I'm Maurice!
  
  My love affair with food and cooking started at the tender age of 8. I just loved watching my mother cook for the family, no matter what the dish or meal, sweet or savoury, breakfast lunch or dinner. I realised very early that I loved to identify the different flavours in each dish and what they brought to the dish and what if anything was lacking or overpowering. I remember feeling so proud that all the recipes that my Mother used were her Mothers recipes. I just love that.
