Serves 4
Ingredients
Beef filling
- 500g beef mince
- 400g tin diced tomatoes
- 4 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup bone broth
- 1 brown onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1.5 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil for frying
- 3 eggplants
Cauliflower Collagen Sauce
- 1/2 small cauliflower
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 sachet Kissed Earth Brilliance Unflavoured Collagen
- 1 tbsp water or broth
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pepper
- * Taste this sauce & add extra seasoning or extra liquid to blend if required

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
- Thinly slice the eggplants and place them spaced onto a baking tray with olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes until soft
- Finely dice the brown onion and garlic. Preheat a frying pan over a medium - high heat and pour in the olive oil. Once hot, add in the onion and garlic and season with salt. Cook until the onions have softened
- Add in the mince and cook until browned
- Add in the dried oregano and cinnamon and stir well
- Pour in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste and bring up to a gentle simmer. Add the salt and pepper and allow the sauce to reduce as much as possible
- Slice the cauliflower florets and steam until soft. While hot add them to a blender or food processor with the butter, water/broth, collagen, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth
- Begin layering by adding the eggplant to the bottom of a baking dish. Top with the beef filling and follow with the cauliflower sauce. Repeat this process until you have used up all ingredients, finishing with a Cauliflower sauce layer
- Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese and bake for roughly 30 minutes until the top is golden. Enjoy!
