Brown the mince: Heat the oil
in a large, shallow pan. Toss in the onion and garlic and
fry until soft. Add the mince and stir fry for 3-4 minutes
until browned.
-
Season and simmer: Tip the
tomatoes into the pan and stir in the tomato purée and
cinnamon, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Leave the mince to simmer for 20 minutes, adding the
aubergines half way through.

To serve: Sprinkle the
crumbled feta and chopped mint over the mince. Bring the
moussaka to the table as the feta melts and serve it with
a crunchy green salad and toasted pitta or focaccia.
