That’s right! We are making delicious zucchini moussaka.
Moussaka is a traditional Greek dish that has been a part of Bulgarian national cuisine for many years. So in a way it might as well be considered Bulgarian.
There are plenty of moussaka variations depending on the ingredients used.
Bulgarian type of moussaka is usually made with potatoes, minced meat, vegetables and topping.
The authentic Greek one is with eggplant, minced meat and topping. The Topping could be bechamel sauce or a mixture of eggs, yogurt or milk and a very little flour.
However today we are giving you zucchini moussaka.
We will add 2-3 potatoes, onion, carrots and lots of spices.
One of the basic spices for moussaka is savory. It is not so well-known in English cuisine but definitely deserves your attention.
Anyway, lets stop wasting time and get on with it… 🙂
