Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 sweet yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups pieces or slices mushrooms sliced
  • 16 oz extra lean ground beef
  • 15 oz no salt added tomato sauce (canned)
  • 1 can tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp celery seed
  • 1 tsp ground oregano
  • 1 tsp crumbled whole bay leaf
  • 1 1/2 unpeeled eggplant
  • 50 g mozzarella cheese (part skim milk)
  • 2 tbsps parmesan cheese
  • 1 bay leaf

Directions

  • In a large saucepan heat olive oil. Add onions and garlic, sauté until soft, add mushrooms and peppers and cook until mushrooms start to shrink and are starting to brown.
  • Add ground beef and cook until browned. Add tomato sauce, water and paste and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce to medium and add pepper, celery seed, oregano, whole bay leaf and simmer, stirring occasionally until eggplant is prepared. (If like to use salt I recommend sea salt to taste.)
  • To prepare eggplant, slice into 1/4 inch thick slices. Brown slices in a non-stick pan, you can use cooking spray like Pam if you like.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350° F (175° C). In an 8x11" glass baking dish ladle half of your meat sauce, cover with a layer of eggplant and sprinkle with half of your mozzarella cheese.
  • Add the other half of your meat sauce, cover with remaining eggplant.
  • Sprinkle the top with the remaining mozzarella and sprinkle on parmesan sparingly.
  • Bake for 60 minutes. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
