Musakka, Eggplant Moussaka Turkish Way

[@Juuub2]

Great to see this the Turkish way. I’ve always had it layered with cheese; feta or something similar, but always suspected this was an anglicised version that was trying to make it more like a lasagne. I can imagine this tastes delicious. Great videos, I’m learning a lot and can’t express how much I appreciate the format you present your videos - no commentary, just cooking. Cheers x

Glad to see the format is appreciated. Thank you for the feedback!

Never knew this version even though I'm very interested in Turkish cuisine! I'm surely going to try it with pilaf , as recommended! Looks amazing how good it stands on the plate without falling off the sides! Thank you for sharing

Good afternoon, I am French and have been following you for a short time. Would it be possible for you to tell me if you use hot or mild green peppers? for your pepper paste can you find it easily and if not can you put harissa or equivalent ? Thank you very much for your reply. Continue with your very beautiful recipes.

[@HungryManKitchen]

Thank you! They usually sell both, that said the hot one is not too hot, adds just a little bit heat to the dishes. You can also use harissa in case you can't find Turkish pepper paste. I will soon post a recipe for a homemade Turkish pepper paste.

I really like Turkish cusine. Turkish food is more heavily, more fat but more tasty. This version of musaka it looks more easily and I will prefer because I don't have enough time ...but I will add besamel=( cream ) on the top and will be delicious.

[@rubypickles1836]

What kind of chili paste is used? I know there's all different kinds but is there a specific one that would be good in this recipe?

[@HungryManKitchen]

It's Turkish style chili paste, called "biber salcasi": amzn.to/3QcGUV9 It is usually sold in Turkish, Asian, Middle Eastern grocery markets.

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

My technique is to sear the hamburger on two sides to get browning. Once browned, i reduce to medium heat and add onion to the half cooked ground meats. In this way, the onions have time to soften and become translucent while also flavouring the ground meats

[@mickeyvanderhoof8889]

Finally, a recipe where moussaka isn't ruined by distracting ingredients, you know, ingredients trying to convince you it's good. French add butter when they mess things up, Greek add feta cheese when they mess things up. Italians start singing. Americans leave the premises. Turks, I believe, follow a simpler path. .

[@HungryManKitchen]

Most of the Turkish recipes are rather simple and aiming to showcase the flavor of the main ingredients. Another good example is traditional Turkish doner where good quality meat is the star vs Berliner doner and other variants with different sauces stealing the scene. All of them good if made properly, but I tend to prefer the Turkish version as I'm used to those flavors from my childhood.

[@zotsi1491]

Moussaka is made with béchamel or it is not moussaka

[@mianawan]

@@HungryManKitchenhere in Barcelona, dont even think about authentic doner. Many vendors just add whatever they grab just to fill it up to make it a doner. Even adding corn and black or green olives and call it a Turkish Doner 😂 . It is hilarious 😂

[@klarawinterain6101]

Isn't the meat overcooked when it's already been in the pan and then still in the oven? I'm not an expert. Just a question I had on my mind.

[@HungryManKitchen]

There is no medium or medium rare in traditional Turkish dishes, but as for your question, it's cooked in the sauce, so it's not dry or overcooked. It's similar to Italian ragu, if it makes sense.

[@klarawinterain6101]

@@HungryManKitchen Thanks for the answer. Actually did some googling right after I asked. It's probably not baked long enough to lose its proteins, especially in the sauce, you're right buuut I read that it COULD be an issue so I'm glad my comment wasn't nonsense. I was wondering also because in some cultures the vegetables often look overdone but like it's how it should be... Anyways, your dish looks great. 🙃

[@stamzou6718]

This is not Mussaka..The real Greek food made with potatoes and milk cream too.

[@HungryManKitchen]

Original moussaka had no resemblance to the layered version we know today. It was the Levantine Arabs which introduced moussaka to Turks and Greeks living in Anatolia. (The word itself is borrowed from the Arabic language during Ottoman reign) In the 1920s, Nikolaus Tselementes, a Greek chef and developed the Greek version of moussaka and westernized the recipe. He invented the layers and recommended the use of bechamel sauce which is quite a nice touch.
