I made Moussaka the week before last, I was making a ‘three portion’ dish for my friend to serve to her sister and BIL and the rest I froze for our own consumption. As I was at the hairdressers today and knew I wouldn’t be back till after 4 pm, I left this out to defrost. 

Aubergines, onion, minced lamb, rather battered old Le Creuset Casserole dish!

1. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan, add the onion and fry gently for about 10 minutes until soft.
