Anyone know?
It's an ingredient listed in an Albanian
potato musaka recipe. I think it's a vegetable.
Thanks,
Kate
Okay, before anyone asks, here's the recipe.
MUSAKA WITH POTATOES
(Albanian)
4-5 T. butter
2 onions, finely chopped
3/4 kg (26 oz.) ground beef
salt
pepper
cayenne
parsley
salca
1 kg (35 oz.) potatoes
2-3 T. butter, melted
1 1/2 c. yogurt
2-3 eggs, beaten
1 T. flour
salt
Melt butter and add ½ cup of water. Add onions and saute over low heat.
Add beef, salt, pepper, cayenne, parsley, and salca and mix the mass
without roasting it too much. Make mashed potatoes with 1 kg (about 35
ounces) of potatoes. Spread half of the mashed potatoes on a baking pan
covered with melted butter, then on top of the mashed potatoes spread
the beef, then on top of that the other half of the mashed potatoes.
Sprinkle with 2-3 spoons of melted butter and 1 small cup of water and
place in a hot oven and let it cook until the surface has turned red.
Cover the musaka with yogurt combined beaten eggs, flour, and some salt.
Afterwards return the musaka into the hot oven until it is well cooked.
