As a convenience to the many readers of this blog, I’ve amassed all the Lenten (and Lent-friendly) dishes that I have posted thus far. Most of the dishes are Greek and appropriate for Lent and some are foreign but due to their ingredients, they fit in nicely with the Greek Lent in which us Greeks abstain from meat, meat by-products, dairy and eggs and fish.

All seafood (not fish), grains, pulses/legumes, fruits, pasta, rice and of course vegetables are allowed in the Lenten diet. I have also included recipes which can be easily adapted to suit Lenten needs. Use of eggs, dairy, cheeses, meats can be omitted and replaced with vegetable stocks, potato as a thickener, bulgur wheat for binder.

For those interested in the the minutiae of Greek Lent, this page from the Greek-Orthodox Archdiocese of America clearly explains the W5 of Lent.

I’ve done my best to include every Lent-friendly recipe I’ve posted so far and have double-checked the links. If there’s an error or dead-linked, please email me and I’ll correct the listing.

This pager of links will remain on the front page of my blog right-up until Easter. I will also be adding some new dishes along the way. Here ae the Νηστισιμα / Σαρακοστιανά…
