Method

  • step 1

    Brown the mince: Heat the oil in a large, shallow pan. Toss in the onion and garlic and fry until soft. Add the mince and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until browned.

  • step 2

    Season and simmer: Tip the tomatoes into the pan and stir in the tomato purée and cinnamon, then season generously with salt and pepper. Leave the mince to simmer for 20 minutes, adding the aubergines half way through.

  • step 3

    To serve: Sprinkle the crumbled feta and chopped mint over the mince. Bring the moussaka to the table as the feta melts and serve it with a crunchy green salad and toasted pitta.

Very easy and quick, no phaff recipe which was well received by the family. Served with some broccoli. Added a lamb stock pot, splash of red wine, as had it open and a tsp smoked paprika. Will do again.

This was amazing. Used 1 fresh aubergine diced and added to the pan at the same time as the tomatoes. Delicious thanks

So easy to make and a really tasty dish. Made this a few times now. I brought a fresh aubergine,sliced it and fried it off as I couldn’t get it in a jar.

I made a vegetarian version of this by substituting the meat with Puy lentils (1 cup dried equals roughly 500g cooked) and it made for a tasty midweek supper.

This is a family favourite. Using aubergines from a jar makes it super quick but if you have time, it's well worth grilling them and then adding to the meat and tomato mixture. I also add new potatoes to it since moussaka usually contains potatoes. I either buy the tiny new potatoes or I chop them…
