Moussaka (no aubergine)
I make no claims for the authenticity of this dish, My husband loves moussaka but hates aubergines so I just make it this way with potatoes and no aubergine. This is a real comfort food dish and is very rich so I tend to serve it with some greens like broccoli or spring cabbage. It does take a bit of time it's not a super quick after work dinner but that said you could make the sauces the night before and put in fridge and then it would be more of assembly dish the next day.
