Does mousaka originate from Greece

Answer 1

The Greek have their own version and so do the Turkish, so yes it is from Greece and also Turkey. The Greek Mousaka is layered with ground (minced) lamb or red meat, sliced eggplant and tomato, topped with a white sauce. The Turkish is not layered instead it is prepared with sautéed and fried eggplants, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, and minced meat, it is eaten with cacık and pilaf.
