This recipe uses:
Pure Basmati Rice 500g
Preheat the oven to 180degC/gas 4
Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onions, garlic, oregano and allspice and fry on a medium heat for 6-8 minutes until softened
Add the stock, chickpeas, black eyed beans and the tomatoes. Season with plenty of salt & pepper, bring to the boil and simmer for 20minutes. Add the rice.
Meanwhile slice the aubergine into 1cm rounds. Place in a colander & sprinkle with a pinch salt, set aside for 15minutes to drain. Rinse the aubergine in cold water and pat dry with kitchen paper then spread onto a large roasting tray. Drizzle with oil season and roast for 20minutes until browned and cooked through.
Warm the milk in a pan over a low heat. Once warm transfer into a jug, then return the pan to the heat, add the butter and allow to melt on a medium heat
Stir in the flour to form a paste. Start adding the warmed milk a little at a time stirring well. Once all the milk has been added and the sauce is smooth and creamy add the feta, simmer for 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly then whisk in the egg yolks
Assemble the moussaka by spooning a layer of the chickpea mixture into a large oven proof dish, followed by a layer of aubergine, repeat twice then cover with the cheese sauce.

Moussaka is a comforting meal that requires light side dishes to create a balanced and even dish.
Greek salad is a great side dish to accompany veggie moussaka as it offers a refreshing taste to a heavy filling.
Lemon roasted potatoes are another popular recipe to serve alongside the main event. Braised in a lemon and garlic broth before roasting, lemon-roasted potatoes are light, crisp, and tender.
