INGREDIENTS
700 gr. (1 ½ lb.) shoulder of lamb(boneless weight)
700 gr. (1 ½ lb.) aubergines
175 gr. (6 oz.) onions
225 gr. (½ lb.) tomatoes
150 ml. (Ό pt.) olive oil
5 ml. (1 teaspoon) ground allspice
15 ml. (1 tablespoon) chopped parsley
425 ml. (Ύ pt.) bιchamel sauce
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Coating
1 large egg
large pinch grated nutmeg
75 gr. (3 oz.) Cheddar cheese
METHOD
Wipe, top and tail, but do not peel the aubergines. Cut them into slices about 6 mm. (Ό in.) thick. Put into a colander with a light sprinkling of salt between the layers and leave to drain for half an hour. Peel and slice the onions; peel, de-seed and chop the tomatoes. When ready to cook, pat the aubergine slices dry with paper. Heat 45 ml. (3 tbsp.) oil in a frying pan over a low heat and, when hot, fry the aubergine slices gently until tender, in batches, turning once. Lift out and drain on absorbent paper. Add extra oil between batches as necessary. When all are fried, make the oil in the pan up to 30 ml. again. When this is hot, fry the onions gently for about 5 minutes, until soft and pale gold. Add the meat and fry. Add the tomatoes, allspice, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well, cover and cook very gently for 25 to 20 minutes. Heat oven to 180-C. (350 F.), gas mark 4. In a deep, ovenproof dish, arrange alternate layers of aubergines and meat, finishing with aubergines. Warm the sauce over a low heat. Separate the egg and, off the heat, stir the yolk, nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste, into the sauce. Reserve the egg white for use in another dish. Pour the sauce evenly over the surface of the dish. Grate the cheese over the sauce. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until the topping is golden and bubbling.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU4Nk
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

It is a peasant dish, intended to stretch meat, dating back for ever and I doubt there is an original recipe as every cook has their own variation.
Basically it is a dryish lamb meat sauce, ground lamb cooked with tomatoes and onions, layered with slices of fried eggplant (and sometimes potatoes -- although I dislike this myself) and topped with a simple bechamel sauce (flour/butter/milk), and baked in an oven. Sometimes with a little grated sheeps cheese on top.
Its a Greek version of Shepherds Pie.
