Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Boil a kettle
Slice your potatoes (skins on) into discs and trim the green stalk[s] off your aubergine[s] and slice into rounds
Add the sliced potato and aubergine rounds to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and put the tray[s] in the oven for 10-15 min or until golden
Peel and finely dice your red onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the diced red onion and cook for 3 min or until softened
Meanwhile, dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 150ml [175ml] [200ml] boiled water
Drain and rinse your green lentils
Add the chopped garlic, drained green lentils and your ground cinnamon and cook for 1 min until everything is combined
Add your chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, bay leaf[ves], dried oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook over a high heat for 3 min or until reduced – this is your lentil ragù
Meanwhile, grate your cheddar cheese
Chop your parsley finely, including the stalks
Wash your salad, then pat it dry with kitchen paper
Melt 20g [30g] [40g] butter in a pot over a medium heat
Once melted, add 20g [30g] [40g] flour and stir with a wooden spoon for 1-2 min or until a sandy paste forms – this is your roux
Gradually whisk 250ml [375ml] [500ml] milk into the roux, a little at a time and cook for 4 min or until a smooth, thick sauce remains
Add the grated cheese and a pinch of salt – this is your cheese sauce
Add the golden potato discs to an oven-proof dish in a single layer
Spoon over half of the lentil ragù
Then add the golden aubergine rounds in a single layer, followed by a final layer of lentil ragù
Top with the cheese sauce and put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min or until bubbling and golden – this is your melty Greek-style lentil moussaka
Once bubbling and golden, leave the melty Greek-style lentil moussaka to cool for 3 min before serving (this helps the flavours to develop and makes it easier to serve!)
Serve the salad to the side with a drizzle of olive oil and garnish with the chopped parsley
Tip: Watch out for the bay leaf[ves] and discard!
