INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (~300g)
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef (90% lean, ~113g)
1 cup Cauliflower (~107g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (~120g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (~122g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the eggplant lengthwise into about 1/4-inch thick slices. Lightly season with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Once cooked, remove from heat.
For the creamy topping, steam or lightly boil the cauliflower until tender (about 5-7 minutes). In a blender, combine the steamed cauliflower, nonfat Greek yogurt, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer the eggplant slices, then spread a portion of the cooked ground beef evenly over the eggplant. Drizzle a bit more tomato sauce on top if desired.
Spread the blended cauliflower mixture evenly over the layers in the dish. Drizzle the olive oil on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.
