1 small onion finely chopped
500 g lean beef mince
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp all spice
2 cloves garlic finely minced
1 large eggplant
400 g raw potatoes

Boil the potatoes until tender, slice thinly.
Prick the aubergine and cook in the microwave for 3 - 5 minutes
Meanwhile, fry the mince on a high heat (no need to add oil). When fried, stir in the spices and herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread half the meat mixture on the bottom of an ovenproof dish, top with sliced potatoes, spread the rest of the mince on top of this.
