Has anyone ever noticed how much better these KZbin chefs are than the Food network stars, or is it just me? This channel, combined with a couple of other KZbin channels has upped my level of cooking to the point that my wife is disappointed every time we go out to eat now. This guy really knows what he is doing and is a great teacher.

Retired greek chef here! In terms of flavour i'm certain that this was amazing, in terms of authenticity, your pasta substitution was an excellent choice, though keep in mind that the original pasta makes a big difference( because they are essentially big pasta tubes the texture and overall experience is different since they can hold much more liquid in them). I've never seen anyone mix the whites in the pasta, not a bad idea, just something that is never done traditionally, they hold together on their own because of the starches. Traditionally you do whole eggs in the bechamel, Also what you did was a mornay sauce(i find it weird that you made that mistake since you are a professional (that's literally the reason i follow you). The choice of cheese was spot on and lastly you can cut it after 45 mins, 2half hours sounds way too excessive. Very well done man! Research ''Papoutsakia, παπουτσάκια" as another greek recipe! it's going to rock your world.

Hey Dude I am Greek and one piece of advise. Do not ever use bucatini as pasta for pastitsio.

Thanks.

@Berkana 2 жыл бұрын

Sonny, I have an equipment recommendation. When you're making the roux for bechamel sauce, I recommend using a roux whisk or a flat whisk. In fact, I actually use a flat whisk for all my whisking needs. It doesn't seem to work any worse than a regular whisk, but it is far easier to clean because it is flat. When you whisk a shallow level of liquid in a pan, the flat whisk puts more tines into the liquid than a conventional whisk. Try using one. You will find that it is a much better tool to use in the pan for any time you need to thoroughly mix things in a pan.

As a Greek man I am VERY honored to see one of my favorite foods be presented in your channel. Now to help you with pronouncing the food and cheese: We say "Pa-sti-chio" with "sti" sounding as it would in the word "stick" and "chi" sounding as it would in the word "chicken" As for the cheese, it's "Ke-fa-lo-ti-ri", you basically messed it up in the "ti-ri" part and said "to-ri" so to help you I would point you to the name of the dwarf from game of thrones (yes it is exactly like Tyrion without the "on" in the end).

As a Greek i can tell that you did your research the recipe is perfect now i hope you ll allow me to give you some pointers for an even better result 1) never ground the clove it can give a bitterness to your food better use a way to keep them together and fish them out after. 2) the problem of putting oil in the bottom it can fry the pasta and make it hard you dont want that next time make a little more bechamel and spread that instead 3)if you dont want your sauce drying out just put a little more water so it will be left some by the time you get it out of the oven you will never avoid it completely the more it stays the more the pasta suck all the juices ( i think you waited too long half an hour i think is enough). 4) in one of the versions of pastitsio there is mixing of feta cheese with the pasta and sauce tomato and feta go together very well if you like that cheese maybe try it next time. lastly i want to thank you for trying this recipe from my country my personal favored cheers

7:24 Sonny, I have a recommendation. Don't boil your pasta in a dutch oven. The heavy weight of the pot takes a long time to heat up, but that heat capacity isn't needed if you're just boiling water. Try this: use one of those oval spaghetti boiling pots which is just long enough for you to drop in spaghetti sideways without needing to poke and prod the pasta into the water as it softens. They also don't use as much water. This means it takes less time to bring to a boil, and the resulting pasta water is starchier, which is useful for all of the applications where the pasta starch helps thicken the sauce.

And finnaly on the topping you have to add chunks of feta to brown up

Hi, certified Greek person here, Pastitsio originally is an Italian dish, so you can also make it with a classic bolognese sauce for the meat part, but its amazing with the simpler meat sauce as well:P What I will absolutely suggest is that you should add a small layer of pasta on the top layer with the cream as well, it will add a lovely texture and some of the pasta will get that lovely baked pasta texture alongside the bechamel Also, on the bechamel Parmegianno is easily better than Kefalotyri :) but for the love of god, don't use the egg in the bechamel in pastichio, use it on mousaka but not pastichio. Trust me on that :p Last thing, try to find a larger holed pasta than bucatini, not sure if its important, but tradition dictates some laaaarge holes in the pasta. Lovely to find this channel :D

Sincere from the heart kudos for the Kefalotiri use my friend. Greek cheeses are amazing and they deserve to be recognized and used more. All you foodies and chefs out there, find and try them especially when you visit mostly our islands but also the mainland and Macedonia for example Chalkidiki, Thessaloniki and the regions around. Your Pastitsio pronounciation was spot on.

Bucatini makes the most hilarious sounds when you mix it in sauce, highly recommended.

I love this recipe and your enthusiasm for cooking and sharing your knowledge. I make pastitsio slightly differently but would love to taste your version s0 Im going to have to make it your way. I use different cheeses, as that's what is available-parmessan, kasseri and or pecorino-romano. I use white wine, but will try red. I normally don't use cloves but do use ground cinnamon and a dash of the fresh ground nutmeg. I've been heating the milk and adding to bechamel as you do. I have been guilty of not spending enough time low heat and cooking bechamel, which I will now do. I mix the eggs yolks and whites, and then temper with hot milk before adding to bechamel. I am going to try your way of separating eggs and using yolks in bechamel and whites in pasta. The Greeks do have a particular pasta, but it is the same as bucatini. My yaiyai (grandma) used elbow pasta a lot of the time. Pronunciation ::)) kef-ah-loh-tee-REE. You were saying it with an Italian pronunciation. Pastistsio - You said it like my cousins do - maybe I'm lazy, but I just say pa-stit-SO. WHATEVER DUDE - I love this channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep these mouth watering recipes coming..I'm outta here.
