Heat oil in a large pan or casserole over high heat.

Fry chopped onion for about 5 minutes.

Add 1 kg of frozen Mediterranean chopped vegetables and 2 chopped garlic cloves to the pan, and fry for a further 10 minutes over high heat.

Add 2 cans of chopped tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of tomato puree, and crumble in 1 vegetable stock cube.

Pour 150 ml of full-bodied red wine into the pan and mix everything together.

Leave the mixture to simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the sauce thickens.

Peel and finely slice 600 g of potatoes using a knife or food processor.

Cook the potatoes in an air fryer for 5 minutes or in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Prepare the aubergines by slicing and cooking them in an air fryer for about 10 minutes or in a frying pan for 10 minutes until they start to crisp up, then set aside.

In a jug, crack an egg and whisk it, then add a large jar of pre-prepared white sauce and 75 g of grated parmesan cheese, mixing thoroughly and setting aside.

After 45 minutes to 1 hour, stir the vegetable tomato sauce and prepare an oven dish.

Layer half of the tomato vegetable mixture at the bottom of the oven dish, followed by half of the aubergine and half of the potato.

Pour over half of the cheesy white sauce, then layer the rest of the tomato vegetable sauce, the remaining aubergine, and the remaining potatoes.

Pour over the rest of the white sauce and spread it evenly over the top of the moussaka.

Crumble 100 g of feta cheese on top of the moussaka.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 45 minutes until golden on top.

Remove from the oven and let rest for about 15 minutes before serving.
