Mild moussaka

Mild moussaka

Ingredients

  • 300 g lamb mince
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 400 g tinned tomatoes, no added salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 aubergines, sliced
  • 300 ml milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp grated cheese

Contains: Milk, Wheat

Method

  1. Brown the mince with the onion; add the tomatoes and cinnamon and simmer 20 minutes.
  2. Roast the aubergine slices with a little oil 20 minutes. Make a white sauce with the butter, flour and milk.
  3. Layer aubergine and mince, top with white sauce and cheese, and bake at 190 °C for 30 minutes. Cool your child's; salt the adults'.
Safety: Cool your child's portion — the centre holds heat. Serve your child's portion first, then salt the rest for the adults.
Storage: Fridge 3 days, freezer 2 months.
Tip: Cinnamon in the mince is what makes it Greek. Aubergine baked this long is soft enough for a one-year-old.
