Musaka

Servings:

I learned this musaka from my Bulgarian mother-in-law though it's probably Turkish in origin. The recipe calls for chubritsa, a Bulgarian herb that can be difficult to find in the States, so basil can be used in its place.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. 2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef in hot oil until crumbly and evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in potatoes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and summer savory. Pour in enough water to just barely cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Pour meat mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Mix together yogurt and beaten egg in a small bowl; spread over meat mixture to cover.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
