Many Orthodox Christians have embarked on a 40 day fast that we call Great Lent. That means observing a plant-based diet with seafood/shellfish allowed. That's lots of vegetables, fruit, legumes, shrimp, mussels, squid and octopus! The photo here is a spread my mom and I prepared for Clean Monday about 12 years ago. The photo shows its age but that spread is still epic! For those observing Lent and you've fallem into that rut of eating fassoulada, fakkes and PB&J sandwiches, I've got your back! My ever expanding round-up of Lent-friendly dishes is here for you, just head over to [link in profile] https://www.kalofagas.ca/2015/02/21/greek-lent-sarakosti-recipe-round-up/ #MediterraneanFood #FoodAndWine #chefofinstagram #food52grams #fulfillment #cheflife #cookingwithlove #cookinggram #yahoofood #cookbooks #amazonbooks #realfood #picoftheday #heresmyfood #yummy #foodinspiration #dailyfoodfeed #feedfeed #forkyeah #instayum #livetocook #gastromia #food #todayfood #recipeinspo #yummylicious #foodpornto (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca15Ft8OlfM/?utm_medium=tumblr
