Supreme Gluten-Free Moussaka

Avatar for Becky Terrell
Gluten-free moussaka is such a fabulous twist on the classic Greek dish, and it’s perfect for anyone who needs to steer clear of gluten while still enjoying a hearty meal!
Imagine layers of tender roasted aubergine, rich minced meat—usually lamb or beef—and a creamy béchamel sauce that oozes comfort. It’s like a warm hug on a plate!

Equipment

  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chopping Board
  • Sharp Knife
  • Measuring Jug
  • Tea Spoon
  • Cheese grater
  • Oven Proof Dish
  • Large Frying pan
  • Garlic Crusher

Ingredients
 
 

  • 400 g Grass-fed Lamb
  • 1 Large Onion Finely chopped
  • 2 Cloves of Garlic crushed
  • 2 Medium Aubergines Sliced
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Crushed cloves
  • 200 g Cream Cheese
  • 125 ml Red Wine ( optional)
  • 3 tbsp Double Cream
  • 60 g Cheddar Cheese Grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃ ( Gas 4).
  • Finely chop the onion, and slice the aubergines into slices
  • Brush the aubergines with a little oil and salt and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Fry the onion and garlic for about five minutes, then add in the lamb and fry for a further five minutes.
  • When the lamb is cooked add in the tomato puree, cinnamon, and crushed cloves. Stir well.
  • Add a tablespoon of water if the mixture is too thick, or wine if you are using it.
  • Now make the cream sauce.
  • Warm the cream cheese gently until it becomes liquid. Add in the double cream, and nutmeg and stir well together. Put to one side.
  • Your aubergines should be cooked now so it is time to put your moussaka together.
  • First, put a layer of meat into your oven-proof dish, then a layer of aubergine, and finally a layer of cream sauce. Keep layering until all your ingredients are finished. Make sure the last layer is cream.
  • Once all the layers are complete add the grated cheese to the top and pop into the oven for 45 minutes. Bake until golden brown and bubbling. Serve with green vegetables or a salad.
