Introduction
A delicious twist on the classic Greek dish that swaps out traditional, heavy bechamel sauce for a lighter, crispy topping made of feta, mint, and breadcrumbs. It is packed with sweet and spicy lamb sauce layered with thin aubergine and potato slices.
Step 1
Dice the red onion, and peel and crush the garlic clove.
Step 2
Add the lamb mince directly into a hot pan without any oil, and brown it off with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Once the lamb is browned, add the diced onion and crushed garlic to the pan and stir well.
Step 4
Stir in the ground cumin, dried oregano, ground cinnamon, and mixed spice.
Step 5
Chop some fresh mint and add it to the pan along with the tin of chopped tomatoes.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using lamb mince doesn't require adding cooking oil to the pan because lamb inherently contains plenty of fat.
Keep potato slices very thin so they cook through perfectly in the oven.
Replacing bechamel sauce with a feta and breadcrumb mixture saves prep time and adds a lovely crispy texture.
