Savor this wholesome, layered bake that balances lean ground beef with tender eggplant and a luxuriously creamy cauliflower topping. The dish wins with aromatic garlic, rich tomato paste, and a subtle hint of olive oil, all gently baked to harmonize flavors in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz lean ground beef
1 cup diced eggplant
1 cup cauliflower florets
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup low-fat milk
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic in 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat until softened. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, then stir in the tomato paste and season with salt and pepper.
Lightly toss the diced eggplant with a pinch of salt. Spread the eggplant evenly on a baking dish.
Layer the cooked beef mixture on top of the eggplant.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, then blend with low-fat milk, a pinch of salt and pepper, and the remaining olive oil until smooth to create the creamy topping.
Spread the cauliflower puree evenly over the beef layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the top is set and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
