Instructions

1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Pour it into a saucepan with 0.25 tsp salt on high heat.
  • Boil the rice, 10-12 mins. Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
  • Once hot, fry the beef, 5-6 mins. Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
  • In the meantime, open the remaining sachets.
3
  • Add the passata, chicken stock, oregano, cinnamon, butter, honey (see pantry for both) and most of the cheese to the beef.
  • Bring to the boil and simmer, 2-3 mins.
  • Taste, season with salt and pepper if needed.
4
  • Share the rice between your bowls.
  • Top with the beef.
  • Drizzle over the creme fraiche and sprinkle the remaining cheese.
  • Top with a handful of rocket. Finish with a drizzle of oil.

Enjoy!

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many found it tasty, though some felt it lacked the authentic moussaka taste. Consider adding onion and garlic for more depth.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, making it a convenient weeknight option.
  • Suggestions: Try using lamb instead of beef for a more authentic moussaka flavour. Consider reducing or omitting cinnamon if you're not keen.
  • Portions: Some felt there was an imbalance, with more rice and peas than meat. Adjust quantities to your preference.
