0 of 10 done
  1. Switch the slow cooker to its High setting.
  2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a high flame. Tip in the lamb mince and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, then pour off any extra fat if you wish.
  3. Put the browned meat into the slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, crushed garlic, dried oregano, ground cinnamon, bay leaves, passata and a splash of water. Season with salt, pepper and sugar.
  4. Turn the slow cooker down to Low and let it cook for 2½ to 3 hours.
  5. Meanwhile, clean the frying pan with a paper towel. Pour in a little more oil and fry the aubergine cubes in batches until they turn golden. Set them aside.
  6. After the first cooking period, tip in the fried aubergine and the halved new potatoes. Stir everything together. Cook on Low for a further 3 hours, or until the potatoes are soft.
  7. To make the béchamel, melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Take the pan off the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then beat in the free-range egg until fully incorporated.
  9. Spoon the lamb mixture from the slow cooker into a shallow baking dish. If it seems thick, stir in a splash of water. Pour the béchamel sauce evenly over the top.
  10. Turn the grill to high. Set the dish underneath and grill until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
