Sierra-style comfort food: moussaka with rice. Add a (small!) pinch of cinnamon to the meat sauce as an optional kick.

Moussaka is a traditional Greek dish made with ground meat and eggplant. Any ground meat can be used but I used beef. A lot of Moussaka recipes do not use potatoes but I did. This recipe took a bit more prep time than usual but it was well worth it.

One of my favorite middle eastern food (correct me if I'm wrong).. deliscious and easy to make... i prefer grilling the eggplant for its aroma and taste is different compared to boiled one.

Suitable for #vegans#vegetariansMoussaka’a means “cold” because this dish is better eaten cold the next day when you get it straight from the fridge ❄️

An Egyptian dish ,when boiled, the result is thick ,it is often described as "slimy",molokhia is generally eaten cooked, not raw, and is most frequently turned into a kind of soup or stew, typically molokhia is cooked with chicken or at least chicken stock for flavor and is served with white rice, accompanied with lemon when is fresh its the best but you could buy it from middle eastern shops they have frozen and dry both are great

Moussakas is a classic Greek Dish with lay of Potatoes on the bottom and layers of Eggplants, Beef and or Lamb. Topped with Bechamel Sauce and cheese.

This is one of my family's favorite dishes.Since I used a minimal amount of oil, it's on the lighter side.I used a 28 x 21 x 5 cm heatproof dish in the picture.Please adjust the baking time depending on your oven. The dish will be hot after microwaving, so please be careful.Topping moussaka with pizza cheese is also delicious. Recipe by SIVKO

Step aside spaghetti and meatballs, or any other meatballs, cos this Persian meatballs is on another level of awesomeness! I am serious. These meatballs are very flavorful pack with layers of umami funk and the stew that goes along with it just makes everything almost flawless.This isn't your regular greasy meaty meatballs that you would find in an Italian restaurant; this is a combination of ground meat, rice, peas, herbs and spices. If that isn't enuff, the meatballs are stuffed with dates, plums and they come in sizes of a baseball. Mindblowing right? That's my reaction when I came to learn about this amazing dish.It indeed took quite a bit of effort, but at the end, it makes it all worthwhile. I am using ground chicken. You can use any other cut of meat if desire. I had a hard time locating some of the ingredients, especially dried savory and Persian plums. I had to order them online tho. If you can't get your hands on dried savory, dried thyme would be a great substitute. As for the Persian plums, you can replace it with any dried golden plums. Dried prunes might even do the trick too. This dish is usually served separately, but I decided to serve them all in 1 plate. Perhaps I can make my own Persian pasta and meatballs. What do you think? Anyway, let's get started with the recipe.
