It is no secret that Lent is the strictest of the year, when you need to adhere to serious dietary rules (we are not talking about the spiritual side). Therefore, if you decide to fast, we will simplify your task, at least in terms of creating a menu. Take note of 12 simple Lenten dishes that can be prepared during Lent 2017.

1. Vinaigrette
Vinaigrette is one of the favorite and healthiest dishes on the Lenten table. It’s incredibly simple to prepare, but at the same time saturates the body necessary vitamins. By old tradition, you can add herring and, to be original, change the presentation. Vinaigrette can be served as a salad or stylish canapés.

2. Buckwheat porridge with mushrooms and onions
Buckwheat porridge with mushrooms and onions has not changed its recipe: it is prepared exactly the same as several centuries ago, now only the kitchen utensils are different. Delicious buckwheat with mushrooms and onions will please you with its satiety during Lent, and may also evoke nostalgia in someone, because this is one of our grandmothers’ favorite recipes.



3. Vitamin salad
Vitamin salad is a very broad concept. As a rule, salad ingredients are available seasonal vegetables. You can cook it every day, and you definitely won’t get bored of it, because you can change the vegetables. You will also immediately feel the gratitude of your body, because fresh vegetables (and even with nuts) are full of vitamins and microelements necessary during the period of spring vitamin deficiency.

4. Beans with tomatoes and basil
This Italian recipe will dilute the Lenten menu with its piquancy, and also replenish the body with the necessary protein contained in beans. Beans with tomatoes and basil look very appetizing, but the taste of the dish will not disappoint you either

5. Rassolnik
Rassolnik is a traditional Russian soup that becomes a lifesaver for housewives during Lent before Easter. It practically does not change its taste, even if you cook it without meat and meat broth. This thick and rich soup is great as a simple or available recipe Lenten dish.

6. Cream of broccoli soup
Cream of broccoli soup – perfect recipe for those who are on duty, as well as for everyone who monitors their health and tries to eat right. The most delicate cream soup with a subtle aroma of spices and rich taste will delight even the most sophisticated gourmet.



7. Stewed cabbage with mushrooms
More classic recipe you can't find a lean dish. We recommend preparing one of these days stewed cabbage with mushrooms. It's no secret that cabbage is one of the most healthy vegetables, which can be eaten raw, boiled, fried and stewed. To decorate the taste of the dish, we recommend adding a lot of onions and fried mushrooms.

8. Rice with vegetables
Rice with vegetables is a dietary and lean dish that can be used to decorate your diet during Lent. This side dish never gets boring, because you can change the dressing, and the vegetables themselves as well.

9. Dried fruit compote
If you intend to eat less during Lent, then replenish your body's reserves by drinking. At this time, compotes made from dried fruits are especially relevant. It is important that dried fruits retain their energy and vitamin value almost in their original form.

10. Lavash rolls with potatoes, mushrooms and herbs
As an appetizer that you are not ashamed to serve to guests, try making lavash rolls with potatoes, mushrooms and big amount greenery This lean snack is sold out at a time.



11. Baked apple with nuts and honey
During Lent, many try to limit themselves to sweets in order to spiritually cleanse themselves and rid themselves of tasty rewards. But if you can’t do without sweets, we recommend taking note simplest recipe delicious dessert. A dessert proven over the years in the form of a baked apple with nuts and honey, seasoned with your favorite spices, will delight your sweet tooth.
