Ben O'DonoghueIngredients:
- Small bunch of marjoram or oregano, leaves picked
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 head garlic, broken into cloves
- 2 × 400g cans diced tomatoes
- 750g yellow wax beans or green beans, trimmed
- 100g Feta

Method:
- Place half the marjoram leaves, the lemon juice, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a mortar and crush with a pestle into a rough paste.
