MOUSSAKA RECIPE | How to Make Greek Moussaka | Lamb and Eggplant Moussaka
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- Moussaka is a scrumptious signature Greek dish that brings the flavours and traditions of the Mediterranean to your plate. With crispy strips of eggplant mixed with layers of soft, rosemary infused potato, smothered with rich lamb sauce and creamy béchamel, this moussaka will make your tastebuds crave for more with every mouthful.
With different variations of this dish being prepared around the world, my good friends (and twins!) Helena and Vicki taught me how to make this moussaka dish, just like their YAYA (their Nonna!) - and it tastes just like an old family recipe should - DIVINE!

MOUSSAKA RECIPE
Ingredients for Moussaka:
Extra virgin olive oil
1 x finely diced brown onion
Potatoes
450g lamb mince
Dried oregano
Cinnamon
Fresh parsley
Salt and Pepper
Italian tomato sauce (700ml)
2 x large eggplants
Ingredients for the Béchamel Sauce:
50g butter
5 tablespoons plain flour
Salt & Pepper
Four cups milk
150g grated parmesan cheese
2 x egg yolks
METHOD:
1. To make moussaka, heat up a deep frying pan and add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil.
2. Then, add finely diced brown onion and stir well using a wooden spoon letting it sauté.
3. Mix through the lamb mince, with cinnamon, dried oregano and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
4. Break down the mince, mixing through all of the ingredients so they infuse the meat and it cooks through for the moussaka really well.
5. Leave the sauce to simmer for up to 30 minutes.
6. While the sauce for the moussaka is simmering, slice the eggplant into circular strips, making each one around 1cm thick.
7. Lightly grease a pan with oil, and grill the eggplants until they begin to change colour and soften.
8. Thinly slice the potatoes and then boil them until they soften and leave them to the side to infuse with a few sprigs of rosemary.

😂 i made this dish over 4 years ago and came back to watch the video again😂. I wrote it all down this time so i can make it just like last time😊. I can already taste it and i havent bought the stuff to cook it yet. Thanks for allowing this Great dish to stay on this channel.
Dear Vincenzo . In the moussaka we put layers of potatoes, eggplants, some and zucchini, fried in olive oil, or baked in the oven, we cover with bolognese sauce and béchamel. We do not use rosemary in potatoes, nor oregano, nor of course parmesan but kefalotyri (cheese like Italian pecorino).
Moussaka comes from the East. It is found in the Balkans, the Middle East, Central Europe (Hungary) and Turkey. The Greek version of moussaka was created in the 1920s by chef Nikolaos Tselementes from the island of Sifnos. He gave the moussaka the shape we know today by adding the French béchamel on top and taking out the many spices.
Hi, thank you so much for your informative comment, thank you also for the tips!
Next time I make Moussaka, I will remember what you told me and I will do it like this! 😋
@@vincenzosplate I think you should just make it as you like it, Chef Vincenzo. If it tastes good...heck, maybe make it carbonara with some scallions on top? haha
This looks absolutely amazing!
I enjoyed the collab, as well.
Cheers!

Vincenzo, we LOVE moussaka here! I even did a video on my amateur version of it a couple of years ago. It's fairly low in carbs, also, it's creamy, rich and oh-so delicious! Helena and Vikki are treasures, beautiful ladies and super cooks! Thanks so much for sharing the fun with us my friend!
Thank you xox

Hi Marina! We are so happy you enjoyed our recipe!! We are planning our next recipe with Vincenzo! A greek dessert sounds delicious! Watch this space :)
Damn this looks so good V! :D
Simpatiche le gemelline ! ;)
My mom makes the best moussaka-Μουσακα
😍 wow, I would love to be able to taste it! 😋
@@vincenzosplate I love ur videos,I'm so glad I found it, I can assure u btw her μουσακά is better than gordon ramsay "Carbonara"
Vincenzo speaks better Greek than us greeks lol
Really? I still think I need more practice though!
there was no PARMESAN to be found in Greece up until the 80's, so this is like an Australian-Italian Moussaka
What cheese did they use before?
What cheese did they use before?
@@nigelradcliffe7613 a Greek cheese similar
I think that they're saying parmesan because that's the only option they have in the location they're in in australia. Even for myself here in America I tried to find the authentic Greek cheese but I couldn't find it so I had to settle on the Italian cheese
this was great, but about sauce ? it was bechamel sauce on top?
Nice. But I learned how to make Moussaka with Akis from Akis Kitchen, and he uses zucchini as well. Are there variations of this dish?
Zucchini is never used in a Moussaka. Of course, you can add whatever you want but the original Greek version of the Moussaka ( by famous greek cook Nikos Tselementes) only has potatoes-eggplants-minced meat and bechamel sauce.
Is it possible to have amounts for cinnamon etc
Ciao Nadine, it depends on personal tastes, you can put a tablespoon or a teaspoon .. it is up to you 😋
I thought cinnamon is for apples not mince
Oh i found the websites. Thanks
Enjoy x
yep it does taste like grease
The real flavors of greece
The greek lasagna what is this 🤔
I gotta tell you, life's pretty tough as a greek who really dislikes Moussaka.
Oh nooo 😱 why don’t you like it?
@@vincenzosplate Not really a fun of eggplant. It's unfortunate.
you forgot to add potato in the recipie list :)
Added
Viva le gnocche Greche!
delicatissimo
@@vincenzosplate ALWAYS!
Vincenzo, do you remember how you react when you see someone making creamed mushroom carbonara or pouring olive oil into boiling water pasta or the various failed pizza recipes? That's exactly how I reacted when I saw this recipe with moussaka. It has absolutely nothing to do with the original moussaka recipe. As you have very rightly said that you can't call carbonara something you don't make properly with the right ingredients, so it applies to all traditional recipes. This is not moussaka, it may be delicious but it is not moussaka!
Hello it's origin belongs to turkey. :)) We called it MUSAKKA.
This is delicious!
@@vincenzosplate Yeah. and i love italian cousine too. i wish i will visit italy one day :)) specially pasta grannies :)))
@@GorgeousGeorge97 there is not %100 race Man hahahah
@@GorgeousGeorge97 im not interested race that much. Mousakka is made since ottoman Empire. Thats it. but i dont care Man.
@@GorgeousGeorge97 There is a turkish yogurt manufacturer in usa. Named chobani. if he can't write greek yoghurt he could not sell. Why is that ? Any idea ?
Turkish food next
Thanks for the suggestion! While my focus is on Italian cuisine, I appreciate your interest in Turkish food. Stick around for more delicious Italian recipes! 🇮🇹😊
@@vincenzosplate well I'm turkish
