Cooking Steps

Roast the eggplant
1
  • Preheat the oven to 210°C.
  • Slice the eggplant lengthways into 0.5cm thick slices.
  • Spread the eggplant over a parchment-lined baking sheet, drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the eggplant for 12 - 15 minutes, leaving the oven on afterwards to use later.
Fry the mince
2
  • Finely chop the onion. Deseed the red chili pepper and finely chop a quarter of it per person. Grate the carrot.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the onion for 1 minute.
  • Add the carrot and minced beef, then fry for 3 - 4 minutes, separating the minced beef as you do so.
Finish the sauce
3
  • Add the red chili pepper, dried oregano, Middle Eastern spice mix, ras el hanout and stock cube (see pantry for amounts) to the deep frying pan.
  • Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar, then add the chopped tomatoes and stir well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the sauce simmer gently for 2 - 3 minutes.

Did you know... Tinned tomatoes contain almost as many vitamins and minerals as fresh ones. Altogether, this recipe contains more than 479g of vegetables!

Assemble the moussaka
4
  • Pour a shallow layer of sauce over the bottom of an oven dish, cover with a layer of eggplant, then spread a layer of sauce over that.
  • Repeat these steps until you've used all the sauce, ending with a layer of eggplant.
  • Spread the yogurt over the eggplant, season with pepper, then scatter over the grated cheese.
Bake the moussaka
5
  • Put the moussaka in the oven to bake for 10 - 15 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown (see Tip).

Tip: for a nice golden finish, turn on the grill setting for the last 5 minutes.

Serve
6
  • Serve the moussaka onto plates.
  • Roughly shred the basil and scatter it over the moussaka.
