Choose lean lamb mince and lots of vegies to get maximum satisfaction from this Greek-style moussaka.

Ingredients

• 1 medium
• onion, finely chopped
• 2 clove garlic, crushed
• 350 g lean lamb mince
• 175 g mushroom, finely sliced
• 400 g canned tomatoes, chopped
• 1 whole stock cube, (vegetable), dissolved in 2/3 cup (150ml) hot water
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, (or oregano), chopped

• 1 whole whole egg, lightly beaten
• 100 g low fat cottage cheese, (or low-fat ricotta)
• 150 g skim plain yoghurt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 190°C.

Heat a large saucepan over high heat. Add onion, garlic and mince and cook for 5-6 minutes or until brown.

Add mushrooms, tomatoes, stock and herbs. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring for 10 minutes or until mixture thickens.

Spoon half mince mixture into a large ovenproof baking dish. Cover with eggplant slices. Spoon over remaining mince. Arrange the sliced potatoes on top in an overlapping layer.

Beat egg, cottage cheese and yoghurt in a bowl until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Spread over potatoes and bake in oven for 45 minutes or until topping is set and golden brown.

Notes

Try serving this with a Greek salad. Try combining tomato wedges, sliced cucumbers, sliced capsicum, some cubes of reduced-fat feta cheese, some olives, then toss with a fat-free Greek salad dressing. Don't forget to add any additional POINTS values however.
