  1. Brown the mince: Heat the oil in a large, shallow pan. Toss in the onion and garlic and fry until soft. Add the mince and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until browned.
  2. Season and simmer: Tip the tomatoes into the pan and stir in the tomato purée and cinnamon, then season generously with salt and pepper. Leave the mince to simmer for 20 minutes, adding the aubergines half way through.
  3. To serve: Sprinkle the crumbled feta and chopped mint over the mince. Bring the moussaka to the table as the feta melts and serve it with a crunchy green salad and toasted pitta.

    Made it tonight, very good. Didn't have cinnamon, mint or garlic so it was simpler but still delicious. Sliced and baked two fresh aubergines for about 1/2 hour in the oven, then stirred them into the lamb with a tin of chickpeas and baked the whole dish until brown on top. Very tasty and easy. Imagine that it would also taste good with other veg added - mushrooms?

    Very tasty and so easy to make! I made it with 1 fresh aubergine and a small courgette, so added more tomato puree for more flavour. Feta cheese is a great finish!

    This is wonderful. We could easily eat it every week but don't. I like it best with a simple green salad with lemon and olive oil dressing and some warm pitta bread. yummy.

    Easy to make and tasty, the smell really reminded me of nice meals ive eaten in Greece when I cooked it! I added an oxo cube and some red wine to the mince (I used beef) after draining the fat. Once ready I put it in the oven in a casserole dish for 10 mins to melt the feta a bit more. We both really liked it and I will make it again, next time I might just add some mashed potatoes to the topping as well and also the chickpeas.

    This was absolutely delish! Was gonna do my usual beef and potato moussaka then realised I didn't have enough potatoes. Cooked as above but used beef instead. Didn't have any fresh mint so sprinkled some dried mint on. Sliced and grilled my aubergine first before chopping. Served with garlic bread and salad. So easy to make. Will definitely become a regular dish. Thank you.

    This has become a firm family favorite and is my daughters most favorite meal ever (apparently). As I can never find chargrilled artichokes in my local supermarket I either use fresh chopped courgette or just leave it out entirely. I have made this several times using quorn mince. Although it's delicious either way I do prefer it with lamb mince - the flavour and texture is better. I cook this at least once a month, if not more ofteN. We have it with toasted pitta breads stuffed with rocket then pile the mixture in - DELICIOUS.

    Use quorn mince and chargrilled my own aubergine first, really tasty and was enjoyed by the whole family. A really quick and easy midweek dish.

    Loved this! I couldn't find any chargrilled aubergine so used fresh, and just roasted it for 20mins in the oven first. I'm going to try it again with chickpeas as suggested by others.

    Will definitely use this recipe again. My partner loved it! He came back for seconds! Really easy to make.. followed a few others suggestions and added Lamb Stock cube and the feta cheese in the mix. Will try to use fresh aubergine and roast it next time

    Yummy! I felt it was vastly improved by the addition of half a can of chick peas which 'earthed' the overall flavour of this dish, My fussy 7 year old gave it top marks.
