Yiayia & I cooked Moussaka together on Jan 23rd. It is a layered Greek casserole with potatoes, eggplant, ground beef & bechamel sauce (cream sauce). It is delicious & one of my favorites, however I didn't realize how labor intensive it is to make. It took the two of us over 4 HOURS to make. We had fun & I enjoyed the time with Yiayia, but I was exhausted! The thing about Greek cooking is that you can have multiple recipes & different spellings for the same dish, so it's not as simple as following the recipe. We combined Yiayia's 2 recipes that she uses and I wrote it down step by step. So now I have her official Moussaka recipe to make exactly how she makes it!
Pastitsio has the same meat & bechamel sauce, but noodles instead of the vegetables. I should have no trouble making this.
