Delicious Greek Dishes Ideal For Vegans

Traditional Greek cuisine consists mainly of Vegetarian and Vegan recipes. From luscious salads to healthy oily stews, hearty homemade pies and so much more. All cooked in a homely manner that fills your belly and keeps you going through the day.

These foods are what make our everyday meals, and are also, to begin with, one of the reasons why the Greek diet is considered very healthy.

Greek Yemista - Stuffed Vegetables With Rice

In a Vegan diet, the lack of dairy and animal protein may sometimes leave you with a growling stomach. Rice can make up for this, giving you a very satisfying and energy-boosting meal. These Rice Stuffed Veggies aka Yemista, are an absolute must in this case. They're slowly baked in the oven, stuffed with a fresh vegetable, mint, & rice filling, and potatoes on the sides. Yummy!

Greek Butter Beans - Gigantes Plaki


@vasokatsanikaki

One of my all-time favorite dishes. Butter beans or "Gigantes" as we call them in Greece. Tastier than any other type of bean!

Traditional Greek Stewed Green Peas

If you like peas, then you will definitely love this recipe. And well, even if you aren't really fond of them then you may wanna give this recipe a go. The fresh tomato, along with the carrots give an extra sweetness to peas, that makes them more flavorful than ever. They taste so much better than steamed peas do. Trust me!

Spanakopita - Greek Spinach Pie With Homemade Phyllo


@effigeorgia

Spanakopita is a well-known and well-loved Greek food. But it gets even better when you make it from scratch. Spinach is a real superfood, that's full of flavor, especially when combined with fresh herbs, olive oil, and a very crispy, homemade phyllo pastry.
