Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion, parsley, garlic and lamb. Brown lightly turning occasionally. Add a little water to prevent from burning.

3. Cut the aubergines into 6mm/ 1/4 inch thick slices and dust with flour. Fry over a medium heat until brown them drain on kitchen paper.

4. Lightly grease a large casserole and arrange 2/3rds of the aubergines in the bottom. Add the meat mixture then top with the remaining aubergines. Leave to stand. Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, Gas mark 4.

5. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes stirring. Remove from heat and gradually add the milk, little by little, stirring all the time. Return to heat and cook for 4-5 minutes stirring constantly, until thickened.

6. Remove from heat and allow to cool a little, then add the egg yolks and half the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

7. Pour the sauce over the aubergine and lamb in the casserole and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
