Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
250g lamb mince
227g tin chopped tomatoes
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp of dried oregano
1 aubergine, trimmed
1 egg
1 tsp cornflour
150 ml pot natural yoghurt
4 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
salad greens or green vegetable to serve

  1. Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 mins until just beginning to brown. Increase the heat to high and add the lamb mince and fry for 3-4 mins until browned.

  2. Stir in the tomatoes, cinnamon and oregano with plenty of seasoning, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 20 mins.

  3. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to hot. Cut the aubergine across into 18 thin slices. Lay them out on a baking sheet and brush them lightly on both sides with the rest of the oil. Grill the slices until browning on one side, then turn them over to soften.

  4. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6 and have two 500ml gratin dishes ready. Lay 3 aubergine slices in each dish, spoon a quarter of the mince mixture into each, add 3 more aubergine slices, the rest of the mince and then the last slices.

  5. Beat the egg in a jug, beat in the corn flour and then beat in the yoghurt. Season and pour the sauce over the top of the dishes, then sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.

  6. Put the dishes on a baking tray and bake for 25 - 30 minutes until the moussakas are bubbling and golden. Serve with salad or green vegetables.
