Quorn Mince Moussaka

I really enjoyed this dish. The packet mix had great, authentic flavours and as I didn’t have all of the herbs and spices to make this dish saved me some money. I would definitely use it again. The Quorn mince is a great low calorie substitute to lamb or mince and you really can’t tell the difference! It also swells up a lot and holds the flavours well. When you consider that 75g of Quorn mince has 70 cals, and 100g of beef mince has 400 cals the savings are huge! The filling itself is very low calorie. It depends how wild you want to go with the topping that increases the cals.

FILLING:
200g Quorn mince
200g Aubergine
200g Courgette
200g Mushrooms
150g Pepper
150g red Onion
Garlic to taste (I like lots!)
Tin Chopped tomatoes
200g Passata (Can add more depending on how thick you want the sauce)
1 packet Moussaka mix (I used the fresh spice Schwartz one)
150ml red wine
Squirt of ketchup

TOPPING:
600g potatoes sliced into circles
120ml low fat Crème Fraiche
120g half fat cheese

1. Slice potatoes into circles about half a cm thick and boil in salt water.
2. Slice the Aubergine and place on a baking tray with a few squirts of spray oil and salt and pepper. Grill until the aubergine is soft.
3. Fry the vegetables, add the aubergine when grilled and then add the Quorn mince
4. Add the chopped tomatoes, Passata, wine and packet mix. Simmer.
5. When the potatoes are nearly cooked but not mushy (Remember they will be cooked in the oven), drain them.
6. Put the Moussaka in a dish and layer the potatoes on top. Spread a layer of creme fraiche on top and sprinkle with the cheese.
7. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 30mins until cheese is golden. You could put a few sliced tomatoes on top as well!
