Lenten recipes

In a Georgian home, fasting is not just a restriction. It is a whole cuisine of beans, walnuts, vegetables, fresh herbs and fruit. Many of our favourite dishes, from pkhali and walnut-stuffed aubergine to bean soup, are lenten by nature.

This page collects recipes made without meat, dairy or eggs: main dishes, soups, salads, sauces and lenten baking. During Great Lent and the Nativity Fast they will help keep the table varied and filling every day.

Each recipe comes with an ingredient list, step-by-step instructions and calories per serving, which is especially useful during a fast, when most of the protein comes from beans and nuts. Set the number of servings yourself and the ingredients are recalculated automatically.
