Method

Lasagne
1. Heat 1½ tbsp oil in a pan. Sear the meat under a good heat until it crumbles.
2. Finely chop the onion. Add the peeled tomatoes and marjoram and heat together. Reduce the heat. Allow the meat sauce to simmer under cover for 10 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Whisk the eggs together and crumble in the feta.
4. Grease an ovenproof dish or a small roasting pan with ½ tbsp oil. Spoon a layer of meat sauce on the bottom, followed by a layer of lasagne and then the cheese-egg mixture. Repeat. End with the cheese-egg mixture. Decorate with shredded mozzarella.
5. Put the dish on a rack in the middle of a cold oven. Switch on the oven to 200° and bake the lasagne for approx. 30 mins until golden.

Quinoa Salad
1. Boil the quinoa according to the instructions on the packaging and leave to cool.
2. Clean and cut the peppers, spring onions and tomatoes into small pieces.
3. Mix the vegetables with the boiled quinoa.
4. Mix the ingredients for the dressing and toss into the salad together with the chopped spinach.
5. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips

Feta can also be replaced with another type of cheese such as ricotta. The shredded mozzarella can be replaced with fresh mozzarella or another type of shredded cheese.
