Pasta - Rice

In the monasteries of Mount Athos, culinary art blossoms with simple, healthy, and flavorful recipes. Pasta and rice, humble ingredients, transform into nourishing dishes imbued with the blessing of the Mount Athos tradition. Fresh and fragrant ingredients from the monastery gardens, embraced by olive oil, compose a gastronomic feast. Orzo with mushrooms and tomato, bulgur wheat with peppers and oregano, and noodles with spinach and leeks - simple dishes that warm body and soul.
Richer flavors join the menu, like vegetarian pasticcio with mushrooms instead of meat, and pasta with tuna and capers. These dishes soothe the palate and nourish the spirit.

The wisdom of simplicity, the love for pure ingredients, and the blessing of creation combine to enchant the senses. Each bite of a Mount Athos recipe is an ode to healthy eating, a reminder of the value of simplicity, and a flavorful experience bursting with deliciousness.
