INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Lamb
1 medium Eggplant
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground lamb to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Stir in the tomato sauce and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
Arrange a layer of roasted eggplant slices at the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Spoon half of the lamb and tomato sauce mixture over the eggplant.
Repeat layering with remaining eggplant slices and lamb mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt with chopped fresh parsley and basil to create the creamy herb topping.
Spread the yogurt herb topping evenly over the final layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Remove from oven, let stand for a few minutes, and serve warm.
