Papoutsakia is a traditional Greek dish made of eggplants, minced meat and béchamel sauce. The taste is very similar to moussaka, which is not surprising, because the list of ingredients of both dishes is almost identical. What is interesting is the appearance of this dish, which is also emphasized by its alternative name: little shoes, or small shoes. Some sources say that eggplants prepared in this way resemble the parade shoes of soldiers on guard at Syntagma Square in Athens at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
1. Preparation of papoutsakia start with the cross-section of eggplants along. Sow every half and leave for about half an hour. After this time, the aubergines are rinsed and then dried thoroughly. At the end, we hollow them from the pulp, leaving, however, about a centimeter layer separating it from the skin.
2. In the pan warm up the oil, on which fry the onion. When ready, add minced meat and fry them to brown. Sprinkle the whole with cinnamon and add the chopped pulp of eggplants. Fry for a moment, then add the rest of the ingredients: wine, tomato purée, bay leaf and garlic. The stuffing will be ready after about 30 minutes of stewing. Finally, of course, you need to season it with salt and pepper (according to your own taste)
3. Time for stewing stuffing can be used to prepare béchamel sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, add flour all the time, vigorously stirring the whisk so that the ingredients combine into a homogeneous mass. Then, while stirring gradually, we add a measured amount of milk. Heat the sauce over low heat, add nutmeg, salt, pepper and half of the grated cheese. We leave the mass so prepared to cool. At the end, add the yolk and mix again thoroughly.
4. On a separate pan, warm up a small amount of oil, and then, on both sides, fry the halved halves of eggplants. We cook them until they start to soften and their skin turns slightly brown. After frying the eggplants, put them in a deep, heat-resistant dish and arrange them so that they support each other.
Add the stuffing to each eggplant, which is then covered with the béchamel sauce prepared earlier. Top with the second half of the grated cheese.
5. Put a casserole with prepared eggplants in the oven, which is preheated to a temperature of about 170 degrees Celsius. The dish will be ready after about 40 minutes when the bechamel sauce starts to turn brown.

Giouvetsi is a traditional Greek dish that can be prepared from various types of meat. It is a simple one-pot dish traditionally prepared in the oven, although it can also be prepared in a pot and eventually in the oven in the oven.
To prepare this dish, we can use keftedes meat patties prepared the day before or also to make them up to date. This simple variety of herb-flavored chops in aromatic sauce is very tasty, so I strongly encourage you to try them. They taste great with ordinary bread, rice or orzo type pasta. Keftedes in tomato sauce can withstand reheating very well, so you can prepare more.
