Moussaka is a very popular and tasty Mediterranean dish you can make in only 45 minutes.
Ingredients
To prepare the moussaka you should get:
- 500 g lamb mince
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 crushed garlic cloves
- 4 medium-sized potatoes
- 1 sliced red onion
- 500 g carton passata
- 140 grated cheddar

Instructions
Place the potatoes in a pot and let them boil for 20 minutes. Once they’re done you can leave them on the side to cool down.
Start cooking the onion together with 2 tablespoons olive oil until it becomes soft. Then, include the meat and continue cooking for 5 more minutes. Add the passata, garlic, and spice.
Wait for the mixture to start simmering, remove it from the oven. Set the oven to 220 C degrees and prepare a griddle pan . Fill it with the aubergines and cover them with the remaining oil. Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Cut the potatoes, and you can start putting together the moussaka.
Add 1 tablespoon oil on the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Do one layer of potatoes, aubergines, seasoning, and the meat. Do this all over again. Pour the creme fraiche on top, followed by the cheese. Cook for 10 minutes in the oven.
