In the traditional moussaka, we also use potatoes that we fry (we also fry the eggplant and we don't peel it entirely). It's not as healthy as your version, but it's got a very rich flavour! I'm excited to try your twist on moussaka!

[@DarthEcoli]

I'm not Hellenic but I still make a pretty traditional moussaka. I never peel aubergine and use it and potatoes for my vegetables (I leave courgette out). For a really super good traditional moussaka, try Aki's recipe. I highly base my own from his.

[@stopoppy]

@@DarthEcoli yes, Akis' recipe is as close to the traditional moussaka as can be! I'm Greek, so I have a VERY particular taste when it comes to the taste of the authentic moussaka!

Funny, good one.

[@TheCorey1734]

Eggplant is amazing. Such a good meat replacement.

[@phw340]

System error @ 1:18 !!!! Hilarious!!!!!! Love watching you!!! You have great energy, humor and great cooking skills!!!

[@NICOLEPOTTER711]

eggplant is my favorite food! So many ways to make it, all delicious! Thanks for featuring it :D

[@amnapeace]

You cqan probably not imagine how grateful I am to know your channel and be able to soak up a little bit of your passion for good food and all the culture is extra knowledge :) Grazie mille !!

[@chophappy]

One of my favorite things to do on my channel ismake videos that show cost effective cooking. These videos are great because they really prove cooking shouldn't be expensive

[@marc4242]

3 Challenges: 1. 3 days worth of Keto breakfasts done in your own awesome and entertaining way. 2. 3 days worth of Keto lunches using a similar meat. 3. 3 days of Keto dinners using a different meat than the lunches. I love the way you take similar things and make them different with sauces or turning them into different dishes. I hope you do it!

[@jackietucker8942]

I love Eggplant. On sale today at the store so I looked for a Frankie dish that would be fast and easy. Three choices and all look really good.

[@dianaf3250]

thank you for these sweet potatoes recipe ideas, awesome!!

[@samaraisnt]

Love the Norma story!!

[@terriharvey1053]

Eggplant casserole is good too. If you don't have an oven or wanna skip the oven...grate the eggplant, get rid of most of the water, and sautee it in the skillet

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

Moussaka, Youssaka! Looks like eggactly what I need!

[@thefoodwench4848]

I make it like this. Also with zucchini! Bravo Frankie!!

[@berrykit]

Where is the part where he said how to choose an eggplant? I've clicked replay a couple times now and I still can't find it

Editing issues!

[@alchemistdreams]

You have to pay to watch full versions on the Tastemade website. There is a free trial though.

[@LaundryFaerie]

@@alchemistdreams Then it needs to mention that fact here on KZbin. Otherwise it just looks like incompetent editing.

[@marko3296]

who knows how to check male or female aubergines? and does it work?

[@keefecarroll1985]

Works every time

[@crs7461]

I just want to say try to put the oregano as late as you can when you cook because it is added for the aroma more than the taste and if cooked for a long time it becomes bitter. Also why peel the eggplant?And it needs to be heavilly salted and then cleaned or else ot will also be bitter.

[@mirandamom1346]

You know, I’ve often heard this, but I stopped salting my eggplant years ago and I’ve had exactly zero bitter ones.

[@crs7461]

@@mirandamom1346 Really? Maybe it's the variety or the point of origin then. I wish I didn't have to do it, it would cut the time of cooking with them and I love them.

[@mirandamom1346]

crs I love them too. I don’t know if it’s true, but I have read that eggplants get bitter the longer they’re off the vine, so the fresher the better. I’ve also heard that newer varieties have been bred to be less bitter.

[@crs7461]

@@mirandamom1346 I remember my aunt doing it and she had them in the garden.. but maybe nowdays it is not necessary? I wish I could buy them every time from farmers and not the souper market..

[@noradorris9631]

He didn't peel the eggplant in this one. He specifically said not to.

[@kjo6256]

How curious. The ad I had for this video was of Gordon Ramsay cooking 😅😅

[@officialkimsmith]

No measurements?

[@heikesiegl2640]

I need to double the price xD cause i would eat halve of that pan

„So, how many servings is that realistically?“ - „I don’t care, just say it’s under 2 dollar a plate.“

[@amvaun]

🤣😂👌💯

[@DarthEcoli]

Read this as if Uncle Roger was reacting/reviewing your shit. Oh no noo nooooooo! You don't peel aubergine. The peel is good for you and has all the flaaaaavour. Uncle Albie say: if you peel aubergine, you fucked up. Also, potatoes and maybe courgettes are also used, but courgettes I usually option out and just stick with potatoes and aubergine. Funny we ate the last bit of the moussaka batch I last made this evening, then I find this video. Also also, Air frying is the easiest and fastest way to cook aubergine.

[@keefecarroll1985]

Have you ever seen "The Lion King"? OMG.. Mufasa ( the reference for your joke) is Simba's father, Scar is the villain. You should also keep some of the skin on the eggplant, it will help improve structural integrity and texture.

[@mrmelkor1]

That sauce was a train wreck lol, good thing it was getting baked.

[@mangojunkie1728]

Yoooo every time the price point is so not realistic. Salt and pepper cost money and where do I find that turkey for $2.70? That’d be sweet.

[@andrewjordan3518]

Its per serving.

[@mirandamom1346]

Maybe it was less than a pound.

[@ladywytch129]

It depends on where you shop(and live!) I just got turkey for $.99 a pound. A friend in California can't get the same brand for less than $4 a pound.

[@mwrkhan]

Skin side UP.....

[@monicamontes5740]

Turkey? Really? Moussaka is lamb

[@vlucidity]

NO that is not $1.71 perhaps per serving but not the whole dish with the meat , the meat alone is like $4.50, sauce in can .79 , 35 cents onion, Eggplant &1.50 and dont forget eggs, milk, flour, butter and spices and tin foil if you dont already have the spices and tin foil ,, OK so $7.14 without butter milk eggs and flour,, so if you had to add them cause you had none on hand you would have to buy the whole dozen eggs $2.15 , Butter $1.50, flour cheap brand $3.49 Milk small one $1.79 for a total of $16.07 and if you add the Tin foil $3.50 you get about 19.57 almost 20.00 and yes you can use the ingredients for other meals but if you dont have it upfront it is no way $1.71 and if you were to count the first total in servings it would be about 1.78 with all ingredients not counting if you dont have cinnamon $4.89 each serving ,, so say you dont have salt pepper or cinnamon Pepper $1.50 , salt $1.59 , and cinnamon $3.80 first total of $7.14 would be 14.03 and second total would be 26.46 which would then be a total of $6.61 per serving ,, Just saying lOL,, well that kept me busy for ten min of the down time from The lock down from Covid19 and BTW it was not called Covid19 because of the year is started in china , 19 in the word stand for the strain of virus in the Coronavirus family it is ,,

[@mmedina6261]

Lol, Truly got a kick out of your comment. Talk about breaking it down. Pandemic has opened many doors and allowed for critical reviews. I enjoy the Struggle Meal show and now your “ break it down” review allowed for reality check. That said, be frugal, fill your pantry, invite a few friends, share your skills, the cost. ,…Enjoy!
