Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1/3 cup of crushed tomatoes is low in FODMAPs. This recipe works out to right about that much per serving, so it is likely Low FODMAP, though it does not leave room for a second helping. If you prefer to always avoid crushed tomatoes, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp tomato paste
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1 1/3 tablespoons of tomato paste is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1 teaspoon per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid tomato paste, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup dry red wine

For the béchamel

3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp cornstarch
2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ tsp kosher salt

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the eggplant rounds in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Brush both sides with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and sprinkle with 3/4 tsp of the kosher salt. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the rounds are tender and golden at the edges.
2
While the eggplant roasts, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground lamb and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 6–8 minutes until browned throughout with no pink remaining and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Drain off any excess fat.
