What you need

–          4 tomatoes
–          2 cocumbers
–          3 spoons of black olives (pitted)
–          200 g of greek feta cheese
–          300 g cous cous
–          Extra virgin olive oil

How to prepare

Wash well the cocumbers and cut them in slices and dispose them in a large dish. Sprinkle some salt on the slices and let it rest for 10 minutes. They will flavor and loose some water.

On side, wash the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. Put them in a bowl and add oil, olives and salt. Cut the feta into small pieces and add it to the mix.

Put the cous cous in a bowl and slowly add boiling water. Do it very very slowly while you mix it and stop sometimes to let the cous cous absorb the water and cook. Taste it sometimes, just to be sure it is not too fluffy.

Dry the cocumbers and put them in the bowl with tomatoes and olives, wait until the cous cous is cold and add it to the mixture. Ready to eat?

– 1 white onion
– 2 eggs
– Parmesan cheese

Wash well and cut the onion and the courgettes. Put some oil in a pan at a low fire and add the onion. Let it flavor for a couple of minutes and add the courgettes.
After 5 minutes at a low fire, turn the fire off and put the content of the pan in a big bowl.
Add the two eggs, two or three spoons of Parmesan cheese, two sprinkles of salt and a half spoon of oregan. Mix well with a spoon and check if the salt is ok.
Cover an oven dish with baking paper and add a spoon of oil. Then, add the content of the bowl and cover with bread crumbs. Add another spoon of oil and put it in the oven at 160° for 40 minutes.
