National cuisine of Greece
Among the hot dishes, musaka deserves a special attention. That’s a baked dish of ground beef (usually lamb or veal), eggplant, and tomato. On top, the dish is seasoned with Bechamel sauce. Sometimes, potatoes, zucchini or mushrooms are also added to the casserole. Traditional soup, avgolemono, is cooked on the basis of chicken broth; lamb or beef may be used too. A fine pasta and egg-lemon mixture, which gives the soup an acidic taste, are added later. The dish is served as a puree; in cold state, it can be used as a sauce for other hot dishes.
