Musaka is a traditional Bulgarian dish made from slices of eggplant, potatoes, and/or zucchini, layered with a mixture of ground beef or pork and a sauce made from tomatoes, garlic, and spices. The dish is baked in the oven until the vegetables are tender and the meat filling is fully cooked. Musaka is typically served as a main dish, often with a side of rice or bread. The dish is similar to the Greek moussaka and the Turkish moussaka, but the Bulgarian version often includes potatoes and is spicier than its Greek and Turkish counterparts. Musaka is a hearty and flavorful dish that is a staple of Bulgarian cuisine, and it is enjoyed by families and friends gathered together for a meal.
