This delicious Lamb stuffed aubergine recipe takes inspiration from a variety of Greek and Turkish stuffed aubergine recipes, although we think ours is the best. It’s a great family dish that combines lamb mince with warming spices and is finished with a cheese sauce. Oven baking softens and tenderises the lamb and aubergine, creating a mouth-wateringly tasty meal.
Cheese sauce is used in this lamb stuffed aubergine recipe, which is similar to béchamel – which can be a bit complicated to create. Our tip for minimising time spent making this sauce is to pre-heat the milk, then add it to the other ingredients in the pan.
To avoid lumps in the cheese sauce, take the pan off of the heat when the flour is added. Otherwise you may end up with clumps of flour that are difficult to disintegrate.
