Fasting has long ceased to be a test for the body: a huge number of new products can easily replace the usual milk, butter and even meat. The rend-chef of the “Dinner at Home” culinary service Elena Chazova tells how you can diversify the refrigerator shelves in the harsh conditions, and what dishes to decorate a lean table with (and even a strong half of humanity will not refuse them!).

Products

Soy. A magical plant that originated in Asia and is cultivated all over the world. Soy is versatile: it contains a lot of protein, and therefore is in great demand. There are a thousand and one options for cooking soybeans, and the simplest is to pour boiling water and leave for 10 minutes. When the meat is swollen, combine it with the soy sauce, sauté and serve with any side dish.

Eggplant is also an excellent meat substitute (for example, in pilaf). Well, who canceled your favorite eggplant rolls with any filling?

Jerusalem artichoke (also known as an earthen pear from North America). "Sunny fruit", as our ancestors called it, grows in Russia ─ in regions with the mildest climate (in the Pskov region) ─ and you can buy it in any supermarket. Peel the Jerusalem artichoke and bake like a potato. Mix with lettuce, dried apricots or raisins, hazelnuts, season with olive oil and lemon juice.

Sweet potatoes are another interesting substitute for potatoes. The homeland of sweet potato is Peru and Colombia. It is called "sweet potato", but it is much healthier than usual. Feel free to make mashed potatoes or potatoes "in a country style" from it. Buy sweet potatoes today, like Jerusalem artichoke, is not a problem at all.

Lean milk ─ soy, coconut, almond, rice. No animal fat, but a completely new taste. Isn't there a reason to try?

"Unusual" beans. You can make hummus from chickpeas (chickpeas). Soak chickpeas overnight, boil until soft in the morning. beat the slightly cooled peas with a blender, add 1-2 tbsp. l. ground sesame seeds, 1 clove of garlic, salt and spices to taste (coriander, paprika, cumin). Dilute 1-2 tbsp. l. olive oil with lemon juice and serve with pita bread or chips.

Couscous is an Arabian grain made from durum wheat. It is made from both plain flour and whole grain, and sometimes from barley and even rice. Couscous can be simply poured over with water for 5 minutes and then mixed with sun-dried tomatoes, red grapes and herbs ─ no doubt, it will be delicious.

Bulgur is a familiar wheat, only stripped of its shell, dried and crushed. In Asia, bulgur is popular no less than other cereals, and in Turkey they love it so much that they completely replace rice in pilaf with it, for example. Prepare bulgur: pour water in a 1: 2 ratio, bring to a boil and boil for 15-20 minutes. When the water is completely absorbed, mix the bulgur with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, olives and olives, add herbs, garlic and olive oil, stir and serve.

Paste. Cook it with nuts, mushrooms, tofu, vegetables, and season with a "vegetable" sauce, such as cashew pesto. Make your own with basil, crushed cashews, grated parmesan, garlic and olive oil.

Lenten sweets: bitter chocolate, kozinaki, halva, marmalade. Honey is the main source of energy (and joy) in fasting. Fry bread soaked in water with sugar for lean croutons. Pour honey over them and serve with tea. And when choosing store-bought lean baked goods, pay attention to the composition ─ it should not contain milk.
