Recipe: Lamb Moussaka

Here's an easy recipe for lamb moussaka. I cheat and use ready made white sauce but if you fancy making your own then that's fine too!

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 400g lamb mince
• 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
• 2 large aubergines, sliced
• 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
• oil for frying
• 1 jar white sauce
• Handful of grated cheese

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 190c, 375f.

2. Place onion, garlic and mince in a pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned.

3. Add the tomatoes and herbs, bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the aubergine slices in batches for 3-4 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper.

5. Place a layer of aubergines in an ovenproof dish, followed by a layer of the mince mixture and repeat.

6. Pour the white sauce over the top and sprinkle with the grated cheese.

7. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden brown
