@arecipe.bsky.social

Moussaka is a Bulgarian minced meat dish, resembling a casserole. For the Greek version of this dish, see Greek Moussaka. This recipe is adapted from Ralitsa Roesing's kitchen. It's delicious with cold yogurt on the side.

Ingredients

  • Oil for cooking
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • ½ kg minced meat (usually pork in Bulgaria, but don't hesitate to experiment!)
  • 1 kg potatoes, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup parsley, finely chopped
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 spoonfuls flour
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. 1
    Fry the onion and the minced meat in a little oil until the meat is cooked. The fattier the meat is, the less oil you need.
  2. 2
    Combine meat and onions with the potatoes, tomatoes, and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. 3
    Transfer to a baking dish. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are cooked.
  4. 4
    Stir the eggs, the yogurt and the flour together and pour it over the dish. Bake for 10 more minutes.
