    This guy isn't just another chef; seldom that I'm getting so inspired. My colleague's father is Greek and I asked for his reportedly great moussaka recipe. She never gave it to me - which indeed was irritating - but no worries after me having seen Akis here! My family is gonna have a lovely moussaka today!

    We first had this a number of years ago on a trip to Greece! Fell in love with these and have been making ever since. Since we usually are watching our calories around here we hardly ever use the béchamel version ( best that way though) . We top with some grated cheese and a slice of tomato. These really are a kind of "personal moussaka" and I love the name, "little shoes"!

    I just love the way he creates his videos. Like, why would anyone not subscribe!!❤ These videos are so much fun to watch. It always appears that he is so happy to cook & teach others too. Cooking also looks very natural to him just as much as humor. I tried mousaka when I was on a Greece vacation. As soon as I got back home, I hit youtube & Akis came up first. I have never looked at any other video ever again. For records: I had made Mousaka when my friends visited & they all were in awe of this dish. All the thanks goes to Akis for his wonderful recipe which he shares & the way he delivers which makes it look so easy.

    I just made this and I can’t even begin to describe to you how good this is. For those of you who are sensitive towards meat taste there is none in this. My tip is just to get quality canned tomato’s otherwise they can get a bit sour and you’ll need way more sugar to counter the sourness. I added probably three times the sugar and made double the amount of bechamel just because I like it creamy and it was amazing. But key is to to taste taste taste the meat sauce and then adjust to taste

    HI
    This is the best version of stuffed eggplants I have seen so far! I like that you don't scoop out the middle which I have been doing and which makes the cooked shells too flimsy to handle. Just pressing down the cooked flesh is a much better idea! Thank you, for great recipe! Shalo to us only in Christ Yeshua.

  • @olivejunkie
    @olivejunkie Před 4 lety +1

    I made this Melitzanes Papoutsakia for some of my Greek friends on Sifnos one Summer. There was less pressure because i had practiced this classic aubergine dish at home after seeing this youtube film, thanks for posting Akis! Buying all the ingredients was fun, as i didn’t know the Greek for ‘parsley’ or anything else in this dish for that matter and had to bring a bilingual friend to help me. Essentially, making this dish is very similar to making the classic Greek Moussaka, but I love the Greek name and the idea each dinner guest gets two “little shoes” on their plate.

    Just a few spins on this dish, after your grill the eggplants sprinkle a bit of sumak on top of them. Then add the minced meat. Also for the cheese toping try smoked cheeses. They are a wonderful companion to eggplants.
