Neither fish nor flesh. How to diversify the table in the post?


In Christianity, the posts are one or more days. About multi-day known to many: Lent - before Easter, the longest, most rigorous, the post not the date varies each year, Petrov post - by the end of the continuum of Trinity Week until July 12. The remaining positions in specific dates. Assumption fast - from 14 to 27 August. Christmas fast - from 28 November to 6 January.

Daily posts in the Christian religion - every Wednesday and Friday throughout the year. True, there are exceptions. In these days of the week there is no post in the days of "continuous Week" and in the Christmas week. One-day post - and on January 18, Epiphany Eve.

But meatless dishes are a daily diet not only on the table of Christian believers. Sometimes the body is required after the unloading of heavy and low quality food.

Lent is good food for those who are jealous of health-conscious and figure. However, each meal must carry, in addition to energy and health, and more fun. Otherwise, why then do there?

At my home piggy gathered a lot of meatless recipes. Some dishes have long residence in the menu, others try and re-discovering.

Ragu 'Union ironclad "

This vegetable stew so fond of my family that I cook it in a season once a week is mandatory. I like it I do not only because of their flavor, but also because of the speed of cooking.

Five or six medium-sized eggplants mine, brush and cut into cubes. Three or four sweet pepper cut into tiny letters, the removal of the stalk and seed bag. One large carrot labor on a large grater. Two large zucchini, clean and cut the same way as the eggplant. Three large tomatoes hit straight into pieces. Two large onions, three cloves of garlic and a big bunch of greens finely crumble.

In all this work on the preparation of vegetables, I spend about 15 minutes. I put a large pot on the fire, pour vegetable oil and layers put together a vegetable. Special care in the layout layer is not required - I'll chop a few times mix. Sol and pepper to taste. Cut down on light, adding some little bit of filtered water, mix, cover with lid and ... I forget to 20 minutes.

Once again I am keeping. Gustation. Mmmm! Another five or ten minutes - and the stew is ready. This full saucepan stew eaten family at a time. With a slice of bread with cooked pasta or fried potatoes, even with nothing stewed vegetables are the main dish table.

Plus, this dish is that time spent at least not pre-poured boiling water on eggplant, it is no use - they generally dish become full members, adding a touch of spicy stew. Perfect Union vegetables.

Salad Green Lace "

In winter and spring in the salad can not add the peppers. This dish is out of season. Democratic, with easily interchangeable ingredients. It has a secret. White cabbage should be cut so thin and long, that in the salad she was really lace. This is easily accomplished if the tip is very sharp knife, fork cabbage, cut a large piece. Or, remove the leaves whole, roll them into a tube and cut tonyusenko.

Each dish is very important slicing ingredients. Believe me, fried potatoes, sliced into circles, is not quite the taste that shredded.

So, I thin I cut the cabbage, small forks. Two sweet pepper, two fresh, bumps, crisp cucumber, a bunch of parsley and dill finely hit straight. Marina bulb. I cut her thin half rings, cold water, add back a little vinegar, salt and sugar. I leave for 20 minutes. Then the water is drained, slightly press the transparent semiring.

In a large bowl put together a beautiful lace cabbage, diced vegetables, onion, gently mix, Sol, and Perch. Sometimes I add two cloves of garlic, juicy, if no meeting on that day, no one planned. All this splendor is sprinkled with a couple of spoonfuls of olive oil. I beg at the table!

For dessert, cook apple pie. The classic recipe for this cake requires a lot of eggs and cream, butter. Lenten version of the much more modest, resourceful, but not worse.

Pie "Grenkova"

Two or three strong I cut the apple into slices and cut out serdtsevinku. Each slice spread in one layer on the oil in a frying pan and fry on both sides. Taste will be different, if roasting apples until tender or until crisp.

Once the apples are ready, at the same pan fry sliced white loaf, soaked in water with lemon juice.

At the post the finished toast slices of fried apples, moisten the clear stream of honey. It is very tasty!

No one believe that the Lenten dishes are not tasty. Post - is not only a rejection of animal food, a great spiritual work on themselves.
