This dish is a spiced up vegetarian version of a Greek dish made with lamb.
Spiced Lentil & Vegetable Moussaka
Preheat the oven to 200oC/400oF
Serves 4
1 onion, finely diced
3 carrots, cubed
2 medium sized tomatoes, cubed
1 tbs olive oil
7 oz/200g lentils
1 veggie stock cube
2 courgettes
1 x 250g carton of low fat cottage cheese
2 medium eggs
1 oz/25g cheddar cheese, grated
Heat 2 tsp of the oil and add onion, carrots and tomatoes, cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften. Add the lentils. Crumble the stock cube into 1 pt/600mls water and add. Bring up to the boil, cover and simmer gently for about 20 minutes
just until the lentils are cooked, stirring occasionally.
Slice the courgettes into long thin strips, brush with the remaining oil, and cook on a griddle pan until softened.
Place the lentil mix in an ovenproof/freezer proof dish (if you plan to freeze it). Layer the courgette strips on top. Place the cottage cheese and eggs in the food processor and mix until smooth and pour over the courgettes. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Cook for 25 - 30 minutes until golden.
Serve with a crisp green salad and some crusty home-made bread.
