Serves 10?
Time: ?

- 2 zucchini, coarsely grated
- 2/3 cup fresh basil leaves substituted for dried basil leaves
- 50 g (2/4 cup) quinoa flakes
- 4 tsp minced garlic
- 2 eggs, lightly whisked (can leave this out if you want as not making meatballs)
- 4 tsp dried oregano leaves
- 4 tsp olive oil *4 cups woolworths essentials chunky pasta sauce
- 400 g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 tsp balsamic vinegar

- 150 g greaak feta, crumbled
- Place the mince, lentils, onion, zucchini, basil, quinoa flakes, garlic, egg (if you want) and oregano in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Use clean hands to mix well until combined.
- Heat the oil in a large wok over a medium-high heat. Cook the meat etc that was placed together in a large bowl until mince meat is brown.
- Add woolworths essentials chunky pasta sauce to the wok.
- Combine tomato and vinegar in a bowl. Season. Add the tomato mixture to the wok. Add the mozarella and feta to the wok. Simmer for a few minutes.
Original recipe is too slow and time consuming so I turned it into a chunky meat sauce. Can have each serve with half a tub of brown rice.
