Recipe: healthy and delicious Moussaka

Here is a recipe that is wheat free, gluten free, low carb, high protein and low GI and still tastes amazing!Though the recipe I took it from calls it a lasagna it is really a moussaka as it uses layers of eggplant instead of lasagna pasta sheets, making it ultra healthy.I made it with chicken mince though you can also make it with beef mince. However, once you add the red wine, carrot and other ingredients you could almost swear that it was beef mince (as you will see in the photo below!)I have always been skeptical about moussaka’s as I had a very bland one a couple of months ago at The Union Hotel as noted in one of my older posts, however this one is far from bland. The nutmeg in the white sauce adds a nice touch, and overall the white sauce is much tastier than the usual flour based white sauce, and best of all gluten free.
