MOUSSAKA-STYLE LASAGNE - Serves 6
Syn Free, if using the reduced-fat Mozarella, as part HEX's
1.2kg aubergine, thinly sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
500g extra lean minced lamb
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 tsp. ground allspice
1 tsp. ground cinnamon, or to taste
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
10 dried lasagne sheets
As much or as little reduced-fat Mozarella as you like
Grease a 30x20x6cm deep ovenproof dish with Frylight.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Spray the aubergine slices with Frylight, on both sides.
Fry, in batches, until golden and tender. Transfer to a plate.
Meanwhile, spray another non-stick pan with Frylight and sauté the onion for about 5 minutes.
Add the mince and cook until browned all over.
Add the garlic and spices and cook for 30 seconds, then stir in the tomatoes. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.
Spoon half the mince mixture into the dish, spreading out to cover the base.
Top with a third of lasagne sheets, breaking to fit, then top with half the aubergine slices.
Depending on how much Mozarella you are using, you could now add in a layer of the cheese. If not using too much, save it all for the top layer.
Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of lasagne sheets, then cover well with the Mozarella.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and the lasagne is tender, when tested in the centre with a skewer.
Lovely served with a salad and, if you're really hungry, a jacket potato or SW wedges too.
