Season the eggplant with salt and pepper. In a pan over a medium heat, add half of the olive oil and fry the eggplant slices for approximately 10 minutes, turning over halfway through. Transfer the eggplant onto a plate and set aside.

In the same pan, add the rest of the olive oil and the garlic and onion. Fry until soft and fragrant. Turn the temperature up to a medium-high heat and add the lamb mince, salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, rapadura sugar, tomato paste, tinned tomatoes and water and mix well. Bring to a boil and then turn down to a medium-low heat and simmer until all of the liquid has absorbed. Stir occasionally.
