Ingredients

  • 300 g large flat mushrooms sliced
  • 250 g aubergine sliced into rounds (approx 1 medium aubergine)
  • 300 g courgettes sliced into long strips (approx 3 courgettes)
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into big wedges
  • 1 yellow bell peppers sliced into big wedges
  • 1 x 400g canned chopped tomatoes
  • tsp ground cinnamon
  • tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dried mint
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • 500 g fat free Greek yoghurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 50 g grated parmesan cheese
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • one cal/low cal oil spray

Instructions

  • Mix the mint, oregano and cinnamon together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Place the prepared vegetables on baking trays and spray with some oil spray.
  • Sprinkle 6 teaspoons of the herb and spice mixture over the vegetables and bake in a 200C oven for about 20 minutes until slightly charred.
  • Stir the remaining 2 teaspoons of the herb and spice mixture into the canned chopped tomatoes and also stir in the crushed garlic.
  • Make the topping by whisking the eggs into the yoghurt, stirring in 20g of the parmesan cheese and twisting over some black pepper.
  • Place a layer of vegetables on the bottom of an oven proof dish and spoon over a little of the tomato sauce and the topping mixture. Use the yoghurt mixture sparingly - you want enough to cover the top layer
  • Continue layering the vegetables, tomato sauce and topping until you run out of vegetables, then finish the top layer by smoothing over the yoghurt topping and then sprinkling with the remaining 30g parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the moussaka in a 200C oven for about 30 minutes until golden.
  • Serve on its own or with a side salad.
