Lent recpies.

[Bruised_Reed]

I gave up dairy for lent (cheese, eggs etc) I still will have bread and other things that are made with egg but not explicit dairy products. Vegan recipes are much appreciated.

I found a site via Pinterest with vegan recipes for Lent but can’t find it again. It had a few weeks of menus. Try googling Orthodox, Lent, recipes. If I find it again I’ll post it.

My chili recipe is vegan as long as you leave off extras like cheese or sour cream.

Another vegan recipe I like is just bean burritos. Leave off the cheese and have beans, rice, salsa, avocado, corn… whatever you like. Again, very filling.

Another vegan recipe I like is peanut noodle salad:

8 oz of angle hair pasta (whole wheat is what I use)
1/2 cup of peanut butter (I think it tastes best with natural peanut butter… the stuff that separates and that’s just peanuts and salt on the ingredients–no sugar or anything else)
1/4 cup soy sauce
Red pepper flakes to taste ( about a teaspoon, less if you don’t like spicy… and I’ve left this out before when my daughter was younger)
2 green onions
2-3 carrots shredded or chopped
Handful of peanuts (give or take)

Cook the pasta and take off 5 tablespoons of hot water. Mix the the peanut butter, soy sauce, pepper flakes, and water into a sauce. Add pasta and mix. Then add everything else.

You can eat it hot or cold (it’s great cold the next day).

For Lenten breakfasts

Steel cut oatmeal cooked with coconut milk and some thawed frozen mango chunks or fresh mango chunks for topping. Optional is a sprinkling of brown sugar.

For lunch or supper

Vegetarian corn chowder

opcorn:This doesn’t imply to use popcorn for a meal.

Where I live pierogis are often used.

Also cabbage and noodles. Just melt butter in a pan and saute in some cabbage until soft , add already prepared noodles (a nice heavy one like kluski) warm them together and add salt and pepper.

Ahh…pierogis…lots of good memories. There is actually a Ukranian Orthodox church in my parents’ neighborhood (suburb of Cleveland) that sells pierogis every Friday (even Fridays outside of lent).

Not so common here in Brooklyn, though there is one Polish restaurant and deli that sells them.

This is my first lent cooking. I converted last year and hubby was deployed. I didn’t cook very much. lol

Is it ok to cook with bouillon/broth? Also, what are some of your favorite recipes?

Matzoh ball soup! It’s delish.

You can cook with chicken broth and add some carrots and parsley.

Here is a quick recipe for matzoh balls: kraftrecipes.com/recipes/quick-easy-matzo-balls-53234.aspx
