Description

Moussaka is a traditional Greek dish. Here we have a Bulgarian version of this classic. This hearty and comforting dish is perfect for a family dinner or special occasion and is sure to become a favorite in any household.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the onion, carrots, and potatoes.

  2. Heat up the oil in a large pot. Add the onion and carrot cook until they soften, then add the beef.

  3. When the beef is browned add the tomatoes (you can add a pinch of sugar as sugar cuts the acidity of the tomatoes and creates a more balanced flavor).
  4. Add the potatoes and enough water to cover them (around 2 cups).

  5. While waiting on the potatoes to cook preheat the oven to 400F/200C. In a bowl mix the eggs and yoghurt.

  6. When the potatoes are cooked transfer the moussaka to a baking dish. Bake until the water evaporates.

  7. Pour the yoghurt mixture on top and bake until golden.

  8. Serve hot topped with more yoghurt. Enjoy!Β
