  • The word "Moussaka" itself has Arabic origins, derived from the word "musaqqa'a," which means "chilled." Early versions of this dish were made with layered vegetables and sometimes meat, then baked and served at room temperature. The concept of layering and baking vegetables eventually spread to other parts of the Mediterranean, including Greece.
    Greek Moussaka, as we know it today, is said to have been adapted and popularized by the Greek population during the Ottoman era. This widely known Greek version was created by the French-trained Greek chef Nikolaos Tselementes in the 1920s.

    As a Greek I am happy that you made a video of one of our national dishes👌 Purists prepare Moussaká with aubergines only. We typically add dry white wine to the tomato sauce also and use butter rather than oil in the bechamel sauce. The Ottoman cuisine had an enormous influence on my country's cuisine by enriching it with spices such as cinnamon, cumin, chili, bay leaves and nutmeg. Great video🏆

    Ellerinize sağlık, güzel tarif, beşameli unla eşit ağırlıkta tereyağı kullanmayı ve soğuk sütle beşameli hazırlamayı tavsiye ederim, hatta sütü önceden soğan, karanfil ve defne yaprağı ile kaynatıp, sonrasında soğuk kullanmak beşamelinizi bir tık öteye katacaktır. Bir de yumurtayı pişirmemek için, yavaş yavaş içine beşamel koyarak temperleyerek karıştırmak olasılığı ortadan kaldırır diye düşünüyorum. Tekrar ellerinize sağlık!

    Sadly olive oil has become so expensive in Germany. The 500 ml for deep frying would be around 7 Euros alone. That makes this recipe way too expensive to even consider. :(

    Very nice - however, don’t know about the olive oil based béchamel/mornay, and tho I would not be opposed to trying it in lieu of butter. I do however prefer a lamb mince or 50/50 beef and lamb.
