Eating Well

 Eating well without meat. During the 6 weeks of Lent you're not supposed to eat meat, fish (except on certain fiesta days), eggs, cheese, milk and on Wednesdays and Fridays no olive oil. Allowed are shellfish, octopus, squid and cuttlefish

We are not fasting this Lent but K will probably follow the Orthodox   rules during the last week of Lent, called Holy Week.

However, a lot of the food we eat falls into the fasting description.  Some of these photos have appeared in other posts but these are a few of the dishes we eat that are approved by the church 

Giant beans in the top of the photo and taramasalata, fish roe dip at the bottom. Oops, the beans are with sausages. Much tastier.

Spinach and cuttlefish

Red wine is not on the list of banned foods and drinks thank goodness

Okra and tomatoes

We usually add chicken to this dish but its just fine this way too

Giant beans, cooked without sausages this time.

Stuffed tomatoes.  Meatless.  The filling is rice, onions and lots of parsley, mint and a few raisins

We've eaten green beans and tomatoes, lentil soup. We eat lentils or beans a couple of times a week all year round.

Today we are eating chickpea soup with a side of grilled fish leftover from Sundays Bbq. The fish have an olive oil and lemon dressing
