INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Lamb
1/2 medium Eggplant
1/2 cup Crushed Tomatoes (No Salt Added)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 medium Onion, diced
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the eggplant into rounds and lightly brush with olive oil, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
While the eggplant roasts, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground lamb and cook until it begins to brown. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the lamb, cooking until the onion softens for about 3 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and ground cinnamon. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes so that the flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the moussaka, layer the roasted eggplant slices on a serving dish, then spoon the lamb and tomato sauce mixture on top.
Finish by dolloping the nonfat Greek yogurt over the lamb layer. Optionally, garnish with a light sprinkle of oregano or a dash more black pepper.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty yet lean Mediterranean-inspired meal.
