Firstly, slice your aubergine into thin rounds (3/4 cm thick) Sprinkle with the salt and place into a colander and allow to sweat for 30 minutes to an hour. This is to remove the moisture.

Meanwhile, make the beef sauce. Cook the onion and garlic for 2 minutes with a little spray oil under a medium heat for 2 minutes. Increase the heat and add the beef mince. Cook for a few minutes and then add the rest of the ingredients. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees celcius.

While the beef is simmering, rinse and pat dry the aubergine. lay out on a baking tray and roast for 15 minutes. Turn the oven down to 180

Make a batch of bechamel sauce Then add 1 egg yolk and 30g parmesan. (this is not entirely necessary but is traditional in a moussaka recipe)

Assemble in a baking dish. Add one layer of aubergine, then the mince, top with a final layer of aubergine and then the bechamel sauce. Finally sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs.

Pop in the oven and bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with your favourite greens and enjoy your life with Unislim 🙂
