    Great video. I'm on Team Lamb for Moussaka. One of my happiest travel memories, from, what, 35 years ago, was a classic tiny little restaurant on Santorini, where the Mama, head to toe in black, took us into her kitchen where we could point at what we wanted. Now if you really want to get bizarre, once upon a time, the best hospital in Providence, RI had a cafeteria where someone cooked with great love and talent and served the damndest things. His Moussaka was favorite #2, with lamb. This guy could do an Osso Bucco worth crying over (in a hospital cafeteria?). I never met the guy, and I'm sorry.

    Excellent tutorial, Greek is my favorite ethnic food, worked for 2 awesome Greek families for years and they showed me so much love. I always ate with the family in the back of the house, and Mickhali, (aka Mike) used to get a whole fish and bake it Greek style with the olive oil and lemon and greek oregano. He and his brothers were raised in Mykonos and you should know thats where you learn to love cook and eat seafood! Big beautiful chunks of that glorious fish was on my plate, and I poved those lemony Greek style roasted potatoes! Hats off o the Tiligadas and Ishios family for treating me like I was born into their family!

    • @KensGreekTable
      @KensGreekTable  4 года назад

      Thank you but sorry about the béchamel. I think it’s more about the amount of resting time after it comes out of the oven. Typically you should let it set for at least 45 minutes. This time allows the béchamel to set and firm up....

    Nice authentic Moussaka. I add red wine to the making of my ragu, as well, instead of straight Bechamel, I make Mornay. I add swiss and parmesan cheese to the cream sauce, and I add whole eggs, like for the amount you made, I would add 3 eggs and double the yolks. It makes for a thicker cream top. I also cover the top with parmesan, or if you can get it, the greek version of parmesan is really good. If not a low brine feta works good as well.

      @Nettie Reynolds But that is what makes cooking cooking. There is an inside joke in the culinary world that the pleats on a chef hat are how many different ways you can make an omlette. Yet talk to a French Chef and there is one way, thats it, no more. Geographic location also changes how food is produced. The same dish tastes different in the north as it d oes in the south as they use different herbs and spices to cook with. Change is just change, doesnt make it wrong or right and if you feel insulted, take this from it. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and most of the time they are full of shit/

    Your videos are comforting to watch and listen to. I am half Italian( my mother is from Italy) and often use cinnamon in my sauce .I didn't know it was a Greek thing. When I make stuffed shells I put a little nutmeg in the ricotta cheese/egg mixture. You cook like an Italian . We don't measure ,we just put in the seasonings until it looks right. The only thing I can't do is the soggy pasta . I don't like the texture and I think it affects the flavor of the pasta. Conspiracy theory.... that's the difference between the Italians and the Greeks. Those who wanted soggy were considered Greek and those who wanted al dente considered Italian. God bless.

    Hi Ken my mom used to make this about 30 yrs ago. When I came to Greece I found they use potatoes like you do. I don't remember there being potatoes used in mousaka.
    I think there might have been a layer of eggplant at the bottom to start instead of potatoes.

    💘 LOVE You/your videos!!!! Questions 1) ive read that you should slice eggplant and add seasalt, stack in a large strainer and add a weight to the top, and the bitter juice will come out. Would you recommend doing this for this dish? 2 ) do you traditionally add Greek Kefalotyri cheese to the bechemel? 3 )would you recommend adding red wine to the sauce?
    Thanks again!!!!

    • @KensGreekTable
      @KensGreekTable  4 года назад +1

      Thank you so much Michelle!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
      1) I don’t add salt to eggplant. I find any bitterness cooks off anyways
      2) You can add kefalotyri or mizithra to the béchamel. For me, it just depends on my mood LOL
      3) I don’t add red wine. I add a couple of bay leaves to the sauce and remove before baking
