• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Slice eggplant into thin rounds, then place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add a generous drizzle of olive oil to the potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
• Finely chop garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook lamb mince, garlic and soffritto mix, breaking up with a spoon, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add Nan's special seasoning and tomato paste, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the brown sugar and water, then cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• When eggplant is done, preheat grill to high. Transfer half the lamb filling to a baking dish, then top with eggplant. Repeat with remaining lamb filling and eggplant. • Meanwhile, wipe out frying pan and return to medium heat. Add the butter and plain flour and cook, stirring, until a thin paste forms, 2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. • Stir through grated Parmesan cheese, then season with salt and pepper.
• Top baking dish evenly with cheesy white sauce. Smooth over potato mash. • Grill moussaka until bubbly and lightly golden, 8-10 minutes. • Meanwhile, thinly slice radish and cucumber. Slice lemon into wedges. • In a medium bowl, combine radish, cucumber, a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
• Bring everything to the table. • Tear parsley over salad. • Help yourself to lamb and eggplant moussaka with cucumber salad and Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy!
