Enjoy the flavours of Greece with these little Moussaka pots. Lamb, oregano, garlic and yoghurt, it really is a meal of Mediterranean goodness.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tbs

Brown onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Garlic

2 clove(s), crushed

Lean lamb mince

500 g

Low-fat ricotta cheese

½ cup(s), (120g)

99% fat-free, plain or natural yoghurt, unsweetened

2 tbs

Fresh flat-leaf parsley

  1. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until fragrant.
