Creamy Baked Eggplant and Ground Lamb Layers
Enjoy a comforting, layered dish featuring tender slices of baked eggplant, savory ground lamb, and a luscious, creamy Greek yogurt blend set against a backdrop of aromatic tomato sauce and fragrant herbs. This dish is perfectly balanced to satisfy both taste and nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Ground Lamb
1 medium Eggplant
1/2 cup Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 medium Onion
2 Garlic cloves
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices and lightly salt them to draw out moisture. Let rest for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground lamb to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper as desired.
In a small bowl, mix the non-fat Greek yogurt with half of the fresh basil. This will serve as your creamy layer.
In a baking dish, layer the ingredients starting with a layer of eggplant slices, followed by a spoonful of the lamb mixture, a drizzle of tomato sauce, and a dollop of the yogurt-basil mixture. Repeat the layers until all components are used, ending with a layer of eggplant on top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to slightly brown.
Garnish with the remaining fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your creamy baked eggplant and ground lamb layers while warm.
