    Has anyone ever noticed how much better these TH-cam chefs are than the Food network stars, or is it just me? This channel, combined with a couple of other TH-cam channels has upped my level of cooking to the point that my wife is disappointed every time we go out to eat now.
    This guy really knows what he is doing and is a great teacher.

      I'm not Greek but theirs is one of my favourite cuisines, and I agree pastitsio is one of their greatest dishes, altho it's not that famous outside Greece - it needs more people like you singing it's praises and showing how it's done!

    Retired greek chef here! In terms of flavour i'm certain that this was amazing,
    in terms of authenticity, your pasta substitution was an excellent choice, though keep in mind that the original pasta makes a big difference( because they are essentially big pasta tubes the texture and overall experience is different since they can hold much more liquid in them).
    I've never seen anyone mix the whites in the pasta, not a bad idea, just something that is never done traditionally, they hold together on their own because of the starches.
    Traditionally you do whole eggs in the bechamel, Also what you did was a mornay sauce(i find it weird that you made that mistake since you are a professional (that's literally the reason i follow you).
    The choice of cheese was spot on and lastly you can cut it after 45 mins, 2half hours sounds way too excessive.
    Very well done man!
    Research ''Papoutsakia, παπουτσάκια" as another greek recipe! it's going to rock your world.

    You sir are the king!!! Perfect, noone ever does Greek food well on cooking shows, even Greek chefs. We fully cook (even over cook) the pasta before adding it (it never comes out dry) and instead of egg whites we mix some bechamel with the pasta to give it structure. I'm going to try your directions to compare! Keep doing what you're doing!

    Sonny, I have an equipment recommendation. When you're making the roux for bechamel sauce, I recommend using a roux whisk or a flat whisk. In fact, I actually use a flat whisk for all my whisking needs. It doesn't seem to work any worse than a regular whisk, but it is far easier to clean because it is flat. When you whisk a shallow level of liquid in a pan, the flat whisk puts more tines into the liquid than a conventional whisk.
    Try using one. You will find that it is a much better tool to use in the pan for any time you need to thoroughly mix things in a pan.

Use instead penne as you need large pasta with a hole or ideally No2 pasta for pastitsio look it up in the states you should have a greek deli with this pasta best brand is misco. Love your videos.

    7:24 Sonny, I have a recommendation. Don't boil your pasta in a dutch oven. The heavy weight of the pot takes a long time to heat up, but that heat capacity isn't needed if you're just boiling water. Try this: use one of those oval spaghetti boiling pots which is just long enough for you to drop in spaghetti sideways without needing to poke and prod the pasta into the water as it softens. They also don't use as much water. This means it takes less time to bring to a boil, and the resulting pasta water is starchier, which is useful for all of the applications where the pasta starch helps thicken the sauce.

    It’s not “chio” it’s “tsio” I noticed you kept switching but that’s okay you were correcting yourself. Some also put cinnamon in the beef. (Regional thing) You might also like giouvetsi (beef and orzo) or a bougatsa (breakfast pastry)

    I think you should routinely add the impression from the french chef you worked with from another video where you did an impression of him saying "let it breathe" when you leave the pot cracked, it cracked me up and I keep waiting for you to say it again. Spot on impression of how I think a french chef would look and say it. LOL !! As always, love your cooking and content.

  • @pwntmatch
    @pwntmatch ปีที่แล้ว +4

    if you don't want the pasta to dry out , place a layer of the meat sauce diluted with a touch of water( so it steams) in the bottom of the baking dish . I've never heard of adding clove in tomato based sauces , although oregano balances the sweetness of the cinnamon. You can use red pepper flakes if you feel fancy . And finnaly on the topping you have to add chunks of feta to brown up

  • @panickmode577
    @panickmode577 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    As a Greek i can tell that you did your research the recipe is perfect now i hope you ll allow me to give you some pointers for an even better result 1) never ground the clove it can give a bitterness to your food better use a way to keep them together and fish them out after. 2) the problem of putting oil in the bottom it can fry the pasta and make it hard you dont want that next time make a little more bechamel and spread that instead 3)if you dont want your sauce drying out just put a little more water so it will be left some by the time you get it out of the oven you will never avoid it completely the more it stays the more the pasta suck all the juices ( i think you waited too long half an hour i think is enough). 4) in one of the versions of pastitsio there is mixing of feta cheese with the pasta and sauce tomato and feta go together very well if you like that cheese maybe try it next time. lastly i want to thank you for trying this recipe from my country my personal favored cheers
