My version of a quick and simple moussaka using soya mince, aubergines, beans and potatoes! Give it a go
Serves 4
Ingredients
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 onion sliced
1½ cup frozen soya mince
1 tin of white beans (haricot), drained (tin of any other bean or green lentil will also do)
1 large aubergine, sliced thickly
2 tablespoons Cook’s Sauce (sun dried tomato paste) and 2 tablespoons tomato puree (use 4 tablespoons tomato puree if Cook’s Sauce not available)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Half vegetable stock cube dissolved in 400ml hot water
6 potatoes, thickly sliced
Method
- In a little oil fry the aubergine slices quickly for a few minutes, set aside on a plate
- Add the rest of the oil and fry onion and garlic for a few minutes – don’t brown
- Add soya mince, beans, tomato puree/Cook’s sauce, oregano and stock – cover and cook for about 10 minutes to make a nice rich sauce, not too thick though
- Lay a few slices of potatoes in an ovenproof dish, top with aubergine slices and pour the mince and bean mixture. Cover with rest of the potato slices
- Cover dish and cook for 50 minutes on 200C/400F/Gas 6
Hi -does the recipe call for onions? I notice that the photo appears to have onion slices. Would be a nice addition.
Hi Nancy, you must have seen my post as soon as I hit the Publish button! I forgot to include onions in the ingredients and added that soon after…and you are right, onions do make such a difference! Thank you for your comment and I do so hope you will have a go. It turned out really scrumptious and can be varied by adding sweet red peppers – will try that next time! Take care
