Awesome Bechamel sauce Thank you, Akis, :-)

This is a little heavier than most bechamel recipes I know creating a very thick sauce.
Usually most ratios in mother sauce recipes have around 125g of roux per 1 liter of milk rather than the 200g that are used here.
I guess when you're using it for casserole dishes it'll be fine but I wouldn't recommend serving this as is.

You’re making a bechamel for a moussaka or pastitsio. If you were to use it in a pie or lasagne, you would add no egg yolks.

that looks nummy. i just want to dip bread in it

So, from what I understand, the difference between the bechamel sauce and the mornay sauce is that in the bechamel you don't put eggs and cheese, while in the mornay you add those ingredients, right? So for the moussaka you need the mornay and not the bechamel? Akis, thanks to your recipes I will soon become a 400 Kg lady!! Darn!!

[ralphvanthoff]

@0;39 With all respect to your cooking skills, why did you skip explaining the part of transferring the 'ready' sauce to a blender, and then back into a pan?

Chef Akis how are you doing? my self Vir would like to learn more from you in conti and Mediterranean food. can you please provide me authentic ways of preparation

[lordbattlefield]

It would be nice to say if the milk should be cold or warm. I've heard it matters for the end result.
