  1. Step 1: Heat the grill to high. Brown all the raw lean minced beef (500 g) in a deep ovenproof frying pan over high heat for about five minutes, breaking it up and continuing until fully cooked to at least 71°C / 160°F.

  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, wash and prick the aubergine (1 large) with a fork, then microwave on high for three to five minutes until soft, continuing as needed. Hold the softened aubergine ready to slice. Beat the egg (1) and mix it with all the 0% Greek yogurt and finely grated Parmesan (3 tbsp), then season this topping with its separate salt and black pepper.

  3. Step 3: Slice all the already-boiled potatoes. Stir the canned chopped tomatoes with garlic and herbs (400 g), sun-dried tomato purée (4 tbsp) and cooked potato slices into the actual cooked beef pan, adding the separate filling salt and black pepper to taste. Heat the complete filling thoroughly, reaching 74°C / 165°F if using chilled cooked potatoes. Smooth the filling, slice the actual softened aubergine and arrange all its slices on top.
