Thanks a lot

Thank you so much! It's delicious too, but has a very different taste. 🙂

My hubby is bulgarian and he made this last time and it was good. Planning to make it for him and we dont have yoghurt at home 😅😅..

​@@Sofianetz4LifeGreek moussaka is much tastier than Bulgarian. You can't compare it to anything.

@@Sofianetz4Life because I am also a cook and I have tried all three versions of moussaka, i.e. the Greek, the Turkish and the Bulgarian, I have to tell you that the Greek moussaka is the tastiest of all the others. Now the one who cooked the moussaka was an idiot cook or simply this is your opinion. Whatever the case may be, Greek moussaka has worldwide recognition and acceptance compared to others.

@@Sofianetz4Life if you are from America or England, I have to tell you that you are bad cooks there. Whatever foreign food you try to make, you destroy it, whether it is Greek, Bulgarian or any other cuisine.

Благодаря, Нина!

Well, we eat it on its own or with a cold soup with yogurt, which is called "tarator". But you can combine it with whatever you want. The important thing is that it tastes good to you. This is my recipe, if you want check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8I4SxE7_89E.html

​@@PetrNikolov 😂 I don't know how to explain to you the feeling of "I'm full, but it's from eating non-staple foods, so I feel unsatisfied even though I've eaten enough."

Да ви сладък ориза, аз пък ям българска мусака!

Thank you too!

Thank you so much! 🥰

@@FoodChannelLN your welcome 😊🙏

Thank you 😋

Yes, you are right, Ivan! But I love to add some kashkaval cheese on top. Thank you!

@@FoodChannelLN Yeah my mom always adds kashkaval [:

Original car with out electricity

Thank you so much! I use Bulgarian yogurt, but it can be any unsweetened yogurt. It is also delicious with sour cream.

Chobani has great plain yogurt that goes well as they are a bit more sour than the sweetened runny American yogurts. ( no complaint about the american/ western yogurts but they are designed for sweet breakfast where the original yogurt ( Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Georgia etc. ) is designed for savory dishes with a touch of sourness and stiffness)

🙏

Thanks a lot my friend! Mans a lot! 🙂🙏

Thank you!

Sounds great! I have several Bulgarian recipes here. I will be happy if you try them and share the result with me! This is one of my fave: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sVfBDs5yjVo.html

Hello! Savory is an herb used in Bulgarian cuisine. You can replace it with thyme or oregano.

@@FoodChannelLN Thank you very much 🙏

@@shantadurga4857 My pleasure!

Hope you enjoy it! 😍

🙂

Thanks

Super happy you like this recipe! 🙂 One of my fave from Bulgarian cuisine! 🇧🇬

For me as a Bulgarian probably Yes! :)

😊👌

Hello, Amanda! Yes, could be eggplant, or mushrooms instead meat.

Thanks! I always do it that way. 🙂 I add less water first, so it heats up faster and then it's easier to transfer to the pan and add more water.

@@FoodChannelLN Ahh ok Thanks the right balance and a few of experience need me!!

Thank you, I will 💗

Hello! This is a characteristic herb for our country. Oregano or thyme can be used. It's not the same, but it turns out very tasty

I'm Bulgarian, I used dried spearmint once (known to us as джоджен/jojen) and it came out perfect and tasted familiar, so you can substitute the savory for the same amount of spearmint.

👌

Hello! Yes, you're right! I'm Bulgarian and this is my family recipe. Greetings from Sofia!

Why do you think it's overcooked?

@@FoodChannelLN not overcooked. You had to cook the pork more . Looks good 👍😎🥰

I see. But the time for cooking is absolutely ok. Greetings!

Yes, it's a Bulgarian moussaka. No eggplants. 🙂

@@FoodChannelLN ok cool. Looks delicious.

It's true!

@@Commie_Comedy ......What did the Ottomans learn (concretely) from you?....

@@Commie_Comedy perhaps they did. Also the Bulgarian style of cooking differs from the Turkish dishes as an end taste.

@@Commie_Comedy ...What did the Ottomans learn (concretely) from you?....The statement made in a general way, without specific details, has no value!...

@@Commie_Comedy ...A history of the Ottoman Empire that I read translated into my native language, written by a Turkish historian, (1978) many details are made about the Ottoman Kitchen, especially the kitchen at the Sultan's Court, both culinary preparations and many dishes specific to the Ottomans , ...Your opinion is inferred, it is not supported by documents as I saw in the Ottoman History that I read.....In the Ottoman kitchen there are many dishes with oriental characteristics from the western part of Asia, they did not have acquired nothing from the Balkan cuisine, where dishes were made with pork, and the Ottomans' fishing was done in the Mediterranean Sea, the Aegean Sea, where there were fish of higher quality than those from the Black Sea... The Balkan peoples, conquered in the XII - c. XVII (until the collapse of the empire in 1867) learned a lot from the Ottoman or Turkish cuisine... You need to find verified sources to have an accurate point of view...

I hope she we'll enjoy it!

Яж си гръцката мусака, а ние ще си ядем българската. Да ти е вкусно.

This one is Bulgarian. 🙂

Hello, Ana! I'm sorry to hear that the recipe didn't work for you. Honestly, I don't know what could go wrong? I don't think the total amount of water is much for this recipe. I've been doing it for years and it always turns out great! Bake the dish for a total of 45 minutes, and they are enough for the water to evaporate and the potatoes to cook. As for the topping, I prefer it thinner, so I like it to feel the other products. Thin as the video. :) With best wishes! Laura

I support Laura here. Please make the dish first and then comment with the result. Mine turned out quite nice!

Musakka as many other dishes change ingredients according to geography. Did you know that there was very little olive oil in Bulgaria even though it is a neighbour of Greece and Turkey? There are huge mountains separating them and the climate changes, so does the vegetables and the dishes that you make! So, yes there is a Greek musakka and a Turkish one and a Bulgarian and I an sue Serbian and Albanian but as you can see it goes around Balkans and not really the Americas, so no Mexico there!

Hello, Nadia! I agree that Turkish cuisine has had a strong influence in the region, but this is Bulgarian moussaka. It is much different from Turkish and Greek, which I also really like! Greetings from Bulgaria!

Origins of moussaka are not Turkish, but Arab. You have many variations in different countries. The one you call Turkish is actually Greek, invented in 1920.

@@BeerRepublic yes comes from the Arabs to turkey than to the Balkans

@@FoodChannelLN exactly 💯
