Great Lent is 40 days of both spiritual and food abstinence. However, this is not the only post of the year. There are also Petrov fast, Assumption fast, Christmas fast. And each of them requires certain restrictions in food.
During fasting weeks, many housewives are happy to restrict themselves in food, following a diet for weight loss, but at the same time they are seriously worried about the diet of other family members. And not just like that - after all, many men and children oppose the fasting table and can reject the next meal, consisting of porridge and boiled beets.
Contrary to the established opinion about crackers and water, fasting food can and should be varied and complete. To do this, meat, eggs and dairy products should be replaced with their lean counterparts, and then lunch will no longer look unappetizing.
Your attention to 15 delicious dishes that you can cook in the post.
1. Oatmeal jelly - a replacement for yogurt
oatmeal jelly not everyone loves it, and almost no one cooks such a dish during fasting. Because of this, few people know that sour jelly is very similar to yogurt.
For cooking, you need to take a standard bag of oatmeal (400 g) and a crust of rye bread. Place the ingredients in a two-liter jar, pour cold water. The jar should be left for 12-24 hours, while stirring occasionally.
Then the oatmeal must be filtered through a sieve, pour the liquid into a saucepan and cook over low or medium heat. The mixture must be constantly stirred so that it does not burn. Pour hot jelly into jars and refrigerate.
2. Rice with honey and nuts on lean milk
Lean porridge can be made very tasty and nutritious without adding sugar to it. You can cook porridge on the water - the taste will not suffer much from this. If you are used to cereals with milk, you can take soy or peanut.
Peanut milk is easy to make - nuts need to be ground into very fine crumbs, pour water, mix and strain.
Rice porridge needs to be salted (after cooking) and add honey and your favorite nuts. With such a healthy and tasty dish, you can please your loved ones on a holiday.
Even lean cookies can be tasty, healthy and satisfying.
For cookies, you need oatmeal, frozen cranberries or jam, and vegetable oil. Oatmeal should be fried in sunflower or coconut oil, then put on a sieve and allow excess fat to drain.
Grind oatmeal in a blender (you can not grind everything - to taste), mix with berries. Form cakes from the dough, put on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.
4. Broccoli stew with peas and avocado
Such a "green" stew will be very useful in the post. It will help replenish energy, as well as the supply of vitamins.
Take fresh broccoli, you can also add to the dish cauliflower. To diversify the stew, add green beans to it.
When broccoli, beans and green peas are boiled, you can add avocado and season the dish garlic sauce. Serve hot.
5. Nutella
What is breakfast without Nutella? Classic variant this delicacy is not lean, as it contains powdered milk. We offer an alternative recipe without the use of animal products.
For cooking, you will need whole hazelnuts, honey, cocoa powder and coconut oil. Hazelnuts need to be soaked overnight in cold water. In a blender, grind the hazelnuts into fine crumbs, add cocoa powder to taste, a little oil, just a little bit of honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla optional.
Grind to a paste and add to lean pancakes mixed with soy milk, or spread on a loaf. Yummy! Try it!
6. Sandwich with lean bean mayonnaise
Let's get back to our sandwich. A lean sandwich should come out satisfying in order to satisfy the feeling of hunger for a long time.
For a sandwich, we need a salad, rye or whole wheat bread, canned beans, cucumber, tomato to taste. Cut the vegetables into small slices, and mash the beans in a plate and add oil and salt. Now the beans will act as lean mayonnaise.
Lubricate the roll itself with bean mayonnaise, and spread all the vegetables evenly on top. Cover with the second part of the roll (or bread). Enjoy your meal!
7. Cabbage chips
Fasting has begun, and you want chips? Ordinary potato chips are considered lean, but there is little benefit in them.
From white cabbage you can cook chips that you can eat without fear for health. To do this, you need to disassemble the head of cabbage into sheets, cut into pieces and grease with oil. Salt and pepper the future chips and put on a baking sheet. Send the baking sheet to the preheated oven, dry the chips until cooked.
This idea is popular not only in fasting, but also during weight loss. Such sweets are very sweet, they are perfect for tea, and at the same time they will not harm the figure.
The easiest option is to grind nuts and dried fruits, and then roll the balls in coconut flakes. There is another option, no less tasty.
Take a dried fruit without a stone (for example, dried tangerines will not work, but prunes are just right) and cut a hole with a knife. Inside put a small nut like hazelnuts, almonds or peanuts. The future candy should be smeared with honey, and then rolled in coconut, sesame or poppy seeds.
Such lean sweets will appeal to both adults and kids. Be careful - the sweets are too sweet!
In Russia during Lent they cooked a lot various pies. The peasants added everything that remained from the meal to the filling: porridge, pickles and mushrooms. Pies were eaten instead of bread with soup and main courses.
Salty pies can be prepared with cucumbers, stewed fresh or sauerkraut, mushrooms, potatoes, buckwheat or rice. To make the pies tastier, the filling must be fried in a pan with vegetable oil.
Apples, pumpkin, carrots with honey, jam or frozen berries are great for sweet pies. Pumpkin pies are especially tasty, despite the fact that many do not like this vegetable.
Pie dough must be yeast: put a teaspoon of yeast in a bowl, grind with sugar, pour a glass of water and knead a sparse dough. When it rises, you can add salt and flour to the desired density.
10. Lenten borscht
Fasting is a time of restriction, and many, especially men, want a hearty meal. Unfortunately, classic recipe borscht contains meat, and is not suitable for fasting. But what happens if meat is replaced with mushrooms?
Borscht with mushrooms is more like mushroom soup, and therefore it is necessary to add beets, parsley and beans to it. You need to cook borscht in the same way as the classic one, removing only the stage of cooking beef.
11. Vareniki
Meat and completely non-lean dumplings can be replaced with dumplings. They can be with anything: potatoes, mushrooms, cranberries or raspberries. On some big holidays, fish is allowed, so on such days you can cook dumplings with fish.
For the dumplings test, you only need flour, water, oil and salt. This dough does not require yeast.
All ingredients must be gently and thoroughly mixed, gradually adding flour to salt water. In the resulting dough, you need to mix flour until it stops “absorbing” it into itself.
This dish came to us from Lithuania. It has very unusual taste and fills up quickly. Be sure that you will like this porridge!
First you need to boil barley. Before cooking pearl barley soak overnight. In the morning, you can drain the water and boil it. Please note that this process will take a long time.
Next, you need to grate raw potatoes. Barley and grated potatoes should be put on a hot frying pan, greased with vegetable oil. Fry glass porridge until golden brown.
The Lithuanian dish must be served warm, pre-decorated with fresh herbs.
13. Salad with mushrooms and pine nuts
So that during fasting vitamin deficiency does not take away all your strength, you need to refresh yourself vitamin salad. Mushrooms in its composition will saturate with useful and high-quality vegetable protein.
To prepare the salad, you will need blue onions, mushrooms, spinach and cedar nuts. Finely chop the onion, dip in boiling water and put in a bowl. Finely chop spinach and mushrooms, add pine nuts. Salad can be seasoned with garlic sauce or olive oil. You can also decorate it with arugula or basil.
14. Potato pancakes (cutlets)
Potatoes have long been used to prepare the most different dishes: chips, french fries, casseroles. In fasting, cutlets can be prepared from this product.
To prepare cutlets, you will need potatoes, flour, onions and carrots. Carrots need to be fried together with onions in a pan. Please note that these ingredients must be very finely chopped so that whole pieces of onion do not come across in cutlets.
The fried mixture must be mixed with either mashed potatoes(make sure that there are no lumps in it), to which no water was added, or with finely grated raw potatoes. In the first case, you get pancakes (cutlets), in the second - classic potato pancakes.
From this "dough" you need to mold small cutlets, then put it on a hot frying pan and fry until golden brown.
15. Salad with crab meat and corn
On some days, a fasting person can afford fish. Most of these days are Sundays and holidays.
And as you know, crab sticks made from surimi - this is minced white fish meat. Corn and sweet peppers are ideal for this product. The salad will go perfectly for the second course, it will saturate for a long time.
To prepare the salad, you need crab meat or sticks, canned corn, red or yellow pepper and herbs. You can fill the salad with a paste of mashed ripe avocado.
Come up with new and original ideas try new dishes - and then Lenten table will not look unappetizing or make you want to buy grilled chicken. Also, do not forget that children and the sick are allowed relief, and besides, spiritual cleansing is more important than abstinence in fasting.
