    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease a large ovenproof dish. Steam or microwave potato and carrots until tender. Immerse eggplant in boiling water for 1 minute. Drain.

    2 Brown mince in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Drain off any fat. Return to heat, add onion and carrots and cook for 3-5 minutes. Add tomato purée, tomatoes, stock cube and water, and stir until simmering.

    3 Place half the eggplant into a prepared dish. Top with half the mince mixture, then half the potato. Repeat layers with remaining eggplant, mince and potato.

    4 Beat egg yolks with yoghurt. Pour over top layer of potatoes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden. Serve with salad.

    HFG tip

    Eggplant soaks up oil like a sponge, so blanching it in boiling water instead of frying it means you’re drastically cutting down on fat.
