Hob-to-table Moussaka

A wonderful, easy rendition of a more complicated Greek dish. Yummy and easy!

2 tbsp olive oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 lb minced lamb

1 can chopped plumb tomatoes (14oz)

2 tbsp tomato puree

2 tbsp ground cinnamon

1 fresh egg plant (about 7oz)

pack of feta cheese (7oz)

3 tbsp fresh mint chopped

1. Brown the mince: heat oil in a large shallow pan. Add onion and garlic and fry until soft. Add mince and brown for 3-4 min.

2. Season and simmer: Add the egg plant to the pan to soften it up. Add the tomatoes and stir in the tomato puree and cinnamon, season with salt and pepper. Leave it to simmer for 20 minutes.

3. To serve: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top along with the fresh mint. Good to serve with salad and toasted pita.

To make sure the egg plant is the right consistency you can put it in the oven at about 250 for around 10 min.
