Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Creamy red lentil moussaka
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 4. Put the aubergine slices on a baking tray and brush with half of the olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes, until softened.
- Meanwhile, cook the lentils in a pan of boiling water for 15 minutes, adding the carrots for the final 7 minutes of cooking time. Drain.
- While the aubergines, lentils and carrots are cooking, heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan. Add the garlic cubes and fry gently for 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the cinnamon, tinned tomatoes, tomato paste and the drained lentils and carrots to the pan with the garlic. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in most of the chopped parsley. Preheat the grill to high.
- Layer the lentil mix and aubergine slices in a large baking dish, finishing with a layer of aubergine slices.
- Spoon over the cheese sauce, then place under the grill for 5 minutes, until the top is golden.
- Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve with the rolls.
