Lamb Eggplant Moussaka
I like to watch for ground lamb to go on sale. When it does I buy a few packages and put them in the freezer. This is the perfect autumn/winter recipe using seasonal eggplants, peppers and ground lamb
Ingredients

- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced

- 1 green or yellow pepper, diced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp sea salt
- grated sharp cheddar or use Daiya mozzarella shreds
- olive oil
- 1/2 green or purple cabbage, sliced
Directions
- In a bowl mix lamb, onions, garlic and seasonings. Cover and let sit in the fridge for the day
- Add a little olive oil to a large pot and cook lamb mixture for a few minutes. Add in peppers, eggplant, celery, and tomatoes.
- Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30 minutes
- In another pot steam cabbage until soft
- Drain cabbage and put in a large serving bowl topped with lamb and eggplant mixture and top with grated cheese
