Cooking Instructions and Tips

Prep Time

1

Trim the carrot, then quarter lengthways (no need to peel). Chop widthways into small pieces. Trim the aubergine then slice into rounds approximately 1cm thick.

Cook the Lamb

2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the carrot and cook until soft, 6 mins. Stir in the lamb mince and ground cinnamon. Cook for 5-6 mins, until the lamb has browned (drain away any excess fat) and add the chopped tomatoes, stock powder and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer until thick and tomatoey, 15-20 mins. Stir occasionally. Preheat your grill to high.

Grill the Aubergine

3

Meanwhile, arrange the aubergine slices in a single layer on a baking tray with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 8-9 mins on each side. Remove from the grill and leave to the side (leave the grill on). Tip: The aubergine slices should be browned and soft. If they aren’t, grill them for a little longer. If they are getting brown too quickly, turn the heat down a little.

Arrange the Moussaka

4

When the lamb mixture is nice and thick, pour into an ovenproof dish. Lay the aubergine on top and spoon over the crème fraîche. Spread the crème fraîche with the back of a spoon and sprinkle over the hard Italian cheese.

Finish

5

Grill the moussaka until the top is bubbling and brown, about 3-4 mins,

Serve

6

Once brown, remove the moussaka from under the grill. Let it sit for a minute, then serve immediately and enjoy!
