Classic Lamb Moussaka with Béchamel
Tender roasted eggplant layered with a savory spiced lamb ragu and topped with a creamy, golden yogurt-based béchamel for a protein-packed Mediterranean classic.
INGREDIENTS
2.5 oz Ground lamb
1 medium Eggplant
0 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup Tomato puree
0.25 tsp Ground cinnamon
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 large Egg
0 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch rounds, brush with 0.5 tsp olive oil, and roast on a baking sheet for 15 minutes until tender.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 0.5 tsp olive oil and sauté the minced garlic and ground lamb until browned.
Stir the tomato puree, cinnamon, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper into the lamb mixture and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, and parmesan cheese until smooth to create the clean béchamel.
In a small oven-safe dish, layer half the eggplant, followed by the lamb mixture, the remaining eggplant, and finally the yogurt topping.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is set and lightly browned.
