Instructions to make Moussaka (DIET!):
  1. Grind / mince the lamb. Pre-heat an oven (200oC / 400oF / Gas Mark 6).
  2. Microwave the onion, carrot and celery in a lidded container for 3 minutes. Fry the lamb in a fry pan spayed with Spray2Cook on a medium / high heat. When the lamb is browned all over add the vegetables and other filling ingredients and mix well. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 20 minutes until the lamb is tender and the sauce is reduced.
  3. Put the cauliflower in a lidded pan with the vegetable stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the cauliflower is soft and falling apart. Sieve off and discard any remaining cooking fluid. Add the pepper and garlic to the well-strained cauliflower and use a food processor to blend to a smooth creamy consistency. Whilst the cauliflower is cooking mix the quark with ricotta. Fold in the eggs with garlic and white pepper. Combine the cauliflower purée with the cheese mixture in the proces…
  4. Put the Eggplant / Aubergine slices in a colander and sprinkle to cover with salt. Allow resting for at least five minutes. Spray a baking sheet with Spray2Cook and arrange the slices before spraying the top surface with more Spray2Cook. Put in the oven for 15 minutes or until just browning.
  5. Assemble the moussaka. Put a ¼ of the filling in an ovenproof dish, add a ¼ of the eggplant / aubergine slices and pour over ¼ of the white sauce. Repeat for 3 more layers. Top with the cheese and tomatoes. Put the dish in the oven for 20 minutes before serving on warmed plates / in warmed bowls.

Moussaka is a rich, flavorful Greek casserole made with eggplants, ground meat and béchamel and topped with cheese. This delicious low-carb version omits the traditional potatoes, and used Greek yogurt and cream cheese for a "faux béchamel." This traditional moussaka is truly the best, and just as authentic as any moussaka you ate in Greece. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your calorie needs. w. The epitome of Greek comfort food, moussaka is basically a hearty eggplant casserole with a juicy, flavor-packed meat sauce. Topping the meat is either a rich bechamel sauce- a French influence that was introduced later-or, as in today's Moussaka recipe, a cheese-based topping.
