INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef (113g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (125g)
1/2 medium Yellow Onion (50g)
2 cloves Garlic
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange them on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until they become tender and slightly golden.
While the eggplant is roasting, finely chop the onion and garlic. In a nonstick skillet, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent and fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and fully cooked.
Mix the tomato sauce with nonfat Greek yogurt and chopped fresh basil in a small bowl to prepare a creamy sauce.
In a baking dish, layer the roasted eggplant slices with the cooked beef. Drizzle a portion of the creamy sauce over the beef layer.
Repeat the layering process if desired, finishing with a layer of eggplant on top. Drizzle any remaining creamy sauce evenly.
Return the assembled dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
