Vegetable Moussaka

What is it?

Potatoes, aubergine, lentils, and portobello mushroom sit in a rich ragu, then get topped with a creamy béchamel made with Kefalotiri cheese. It’s a vegetarian frozen meal, so it comes ready for the oven or microwave and is meant to be heated from chilled after thawing or straight from frozen, depending on the pack instructions. Compared with other moussaka-style dishes in Sainsbury’s range, this one leans on mushrooms and lentils rather than meat, with merlot in the sauce for added depth. The layered format gives it that classic baked centre and soft top, with a potato layer underneath.
