Low-fat main courses

Fasting is not a reason to go hungry. It’s easier to say what you can eat during Lent than to compile a kilometer-long forbidden list. But there is always a way out, and a very tasty one at that!

Chickpea cutlets with spinach

Delicious and very filling lean buckwheat cutlets with mushrooms can be an ideal solution for dinner if, for some reason, you decide to give up animal products, temporarily or forever. By the way, this dish is also very easy to prepare. And if suddenly you have boiled buckwheat left over from yesterday in the refrigerator, then it will take even less time to make lean buckwheat cutlets. Just remember that the finished mixture with flour must be allowed to stand for a while so that gluten develops in it, thanks to which the buckwheat cutlets with mushrooms will not fall apart during the frying process.

Lean buckwheat patties with mushrooms

Lenten cabbage rolls with rice are prepared according to the same principle as traditional ones: the filling is wrapped in cabbage leaves. Only, of course, you won’t find meat among the ingredients, and there’s no cream or sour cream in the sauce. At the same time, the taste of cabbage rolls prepared according to our recipe is very expressive and rich, thanks to the vegetables stuffed with rice. The sauce in which cabbage rolls are stewed deserves special attention: it contains Georgian satsebeli and a little adjika. It turns out very original, bright, piquant!
