Thanks to my friend Karina Anastanopeles for recipe

3 large Aubergines, sliced into 1cm thick slices, lengthwise
2 large onions, diced
1lb potatoes boiled and cut into 1/4 inch slices
4 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1kg minced lamb or beef or a mixture of both
1 large baking potato
olive oil
1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
1 teaspoon (or to taste) freshly ground black pepper
1 and a 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 tin chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato puree
I mug red wine
bunch of fresh chopped mixed herbs, eg parsley, thyme, rosemary, chives

1 and a half pints thick bechemel sauce add half a teaspoon of grated nutmeg

at least two different grated cheeses

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees, gas 6, 200

smear aubergine slices with olive oil place on baking sheet and cook for 20 mins turning once. (you can peel in alternate stripes if you want to)

Lower heat to 350, Gas4, 180

dry-fry meat till all pinkness is gone, drain of any fat. add onions and garlic and salt and pepper, tinned toms, puree and red wine, cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, it should be quite a dry-ish sauce, not runny anyway. Add spices and herbs.
Start with a layer of cooked potato, then aubergine, meat sauce, little amount of bechemel then final topping of bechemel and top with grated cheese. Bake for 40 mins
