Instructions

Thinly slice the potato
1

Pre-heat your oven to 220 degrees. Peel and chop the onion and carrot, chop the celery and garlic. Peel and slice the potato into discs less than ½cm thick (basically as thin as you can cut them).

2

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan on a mediumlow heat. Cook the onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Add the bay leaves and the thyme leaves.Tip: Pinch the thyme stalk between your fingers and run your fingers along it to strip off the leaves. After around 5 mins the ingredients will have softened up.

3

Add in the spinach and cook it for 1-2 mins or until it has wilted.

Add the lentils
4

Drain and rinse the lentils and stir them into the onion mixture along with the chopped tomatoes and the vegetable stock pot. Let the mixture bubble away until you have a nice thick sauce.

Stir through the ricotta
5

Once the water from the sauce has disappeared, remove the bay leaves. Stir through all of the ricotta quickly until you have a smooth sauce. Then immediately take the pan off the heat.

Layer the potatoes
6

Pop half the lentil mixture in an ovenproof dish and cover this with a layer of potatoes. Spoon over the other half of the lentil mixture and add another layer of potatoes. Bake with a lid on for 30 mins.

7

Give your kitchen a quick tidy and put your feet up until dinner is ready.

8

After 30 mins, if you can slide a knife easily into the potatoes then they are cooked. If not, give them another 5 mins. Once they are cooked, turn off your oven and pre-heat your grill to high. Sprinkle the hard Italian cheeseon top of the moussaka. Put it under your grill until it browns.

9

Serve the moussaka and enjoy!
