Leave a comment

A tasty lasagne with a rich tomato and cottage cheese sauce layered with zucchini and topped with a lovely touch of saltiness from the feta cheese.

Serves 5

1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, coarsely grated
1 dl dried red lentils, rinsed
500 g cottage cheese
9 lasagne plates
1 zucchini, sliced lengthwise
400 g tomato passata
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp basil
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp ground chilli pepper
0.5 tsp herb salt
0.5 tsp ground black pepper
200 g feta
Oil for frying

Preheat the oven to 225 °C. Fry the onions for about 30 seconds. Add the carrots and garlic and cook for another couple of minutes. Add the tomato passata, lentils, tomato paste and all the spices and simmer for about 5 minutes. Pull the pan off the heat and stir in cottage cheese. Make three layers of the lasagne plates, sauce and zucchini slices in an ovenproof dish. Start with lasagne sheets at the bottom and finish with sauce on top. Crumble the feta over the top and cook in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Crepes with feta cheese, walnuts, pears, asparagus and avocado

Leave a comment

The combination of the sweetness of the pears, the saltiness of feta cheese, the creaminess of the avocado, the crispiness of asparagus and the nut flavor of the walnuts is a real hit! The crepe recipe is from the Health Cookbook by Ulrika Davidsson. Is it a dessert? Is there a main course? Yes it’s both, it’s a main dish that tastes like a dessert but saturates as a main course! Could it be better?!

Serves 4

Crepes

3 eggs
5 dl milk
1.5 dl whole spelt flour
1 dl wheat flour
1 tsp salt
Oil for frying

Filling

200 g feta cheese, diced
130 g walnuts, roughly chopped
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
2 pears, seeded and diced
250 g asparagus, cut into smaller pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

Beat the eggs, flour and half of the milk to a lump-free batter. Beat in the remaining ingredients for the crepe batter. Fry it like pancakes. Fry the asparagus a couple of minutes. Mix it with the remaining ingredients for the filling. Spread the filling on one half of a crepe and fold over the other half. Eat together with a green salad.
