Veggies are the star ingredients of a diet, and this since the dawn of time. But vegetables are not here only for diets; they are also here to make our lives healthier, to give us strength, to make our skin and our heart better; but also to surprise us with the variety of their recipes and their light character especially when they are cooked without a lot of fat and when they are eaten in reasonable quantities because as my ex-coach Weight-Watchers used to say: “an elephant eats only salads and weighs 5 tons” :-)
Cold soup with peas and coconut milk
A cold soup for the hot days of summer, is there any better?
Tomatoes and peppers stuffed with rice (gemista)
These tomatoes and peppers stuffed with rice, it’s a vegan dish typically Greek! I have added just a little bit of dried raisins to bring some sweetness to the dish which match it greatly! Give it a try, you will be pleasantly surprised!
Vegan Stew with Shallots, Mushrooms and Garlic
This vegan stew is really delicious! Putting together spices and herbs create a beautiful symphony which is even more surprising by adding the pastis at the end! It’s really delicious and worth the detour!
Warm salad with butternut squash and beetroot
A warm salad with butternut squash and beetroot to make an autumnal dish full of flavor thanks to spices, feta cheese and nuts! Try it and you will be pleasantly surprised :-)
Pie with phyllo, spinach, leeks and feta cheese (spanakopita)
A spinach pie with leeks and feta cheese and there you have a Greek spanakopita in mini version and like no other ;-) It’s light on fat and so good ;-) Try it, it’s quite easy to make when you just buy the phyllo leaves on the store!
Lentils salad with carrots, onion and celery
A beautiful salad with green lentils and veggies sliced in small cubes for more savor and with a vinaigrette with lemon and mustard for even more taste :-) If you are vegetarian and not vegan, you can eat them with a poched egg! It’s really delicious with or without the egg! It’s your choice :-)
