This Lebanese moussaka is a wonderful twist on the traditional Greek version — lighter and absolutely bursting with nutritional benefits. The humble eggplant is the unsung hero here, offering compounds that support blood sugar regulation and impressive amounts of fibre for gut health. Cinnamon isn’t just a warming spice; it’s actually a powerful blood sugar stabiliser that helps prevent those post-meal energy crashes. The combination of roasting and gentle simmering preserves the nutritional integrity of each ingredient while creating depths of flavour that belie the dish’s simplicity. This is comfort food that genuinely comforts your body’s systems, not just your taste buds. It’s perfect for those evenings when you crave something substantial but nourishing.
