INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef
150 g Eggplant
1 Tomato (approx. 100g)
1/2 Onion (approx. 50g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Mixed Herbs
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and mixed herbs.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
While the eggplant roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Once it starts to brown, add minced garlic and finely chopped onion, cooking until the onion softens.
Stir in diced tomato and season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
In a casserole dish, layer the roasted eggplant slices as the base. Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over the eggplant.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Place the casserole back in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve warm.
