Instructions

1. Peel the onion and chop finely. Wash the peppers, zucchini and tomatoes well. Cut the peppers and zucchini into small cubes. Halve the tomatoes, remove the stalk, juice and seeds and then also dice.
2. Wash oregano and rosemary if necessary and shake well dry. Remove the leaves of the oregano from the stalks, also the needles of a sprig of rosemary (the second sprig is placed on the casserole at the end and baked with it). Crush the oregano and rosemary needles.
3. Peel garlic cloves, either finely chop or press through the press. The middle stalk should be removed beforehand. Cut the olives into slices. Finely dice the feta or, alternatively, simply crumble it.
4. Heat the oil in a pan, fry the minced meat with the onion and garlic. Don`t forget the seasoning! Stand on its side and let cool a little. Cook rice in salted water according to the instructions on the packet.
5. Preheat the oven with convection to approx. 160 degrees, top / bottom heat approx. 175 degrees.
6. Whisk eggs, add milk and stir. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Mix all ingredients together and place in a large baking dish. Pour the egg milk over it and put the rosemary sprig on top. Put in the preheated oven and cook for 1 hour.
7. A crunchy salad goes well with it. If you like, you can also serve baguettes. It is enough for us without the rice being sufficiently full.
8. Tip:
9. Vegetarians simply leave out the minced meat and use double the amount of feta cheese. If you like it a little more spicy, you can add hot peppers to the dish! Eggplants also complement each other very well in the casserole.
