Vegetables in a clay roaster pan, without olive oil
Fasting
Oil Free
Vegetables of all kinds are an integral part of monks daily diet. See bellow an easy and oil-free monastic recipe with mixed vegetables baked in the oven in a roaster pan. A dish from Mount Athos for the days we abstain from olive oil, which will supply us with nutrients and help us continue the struggle of self-restraint.
Ingredients
Execution Method
We wash the vegetables, clean them and cut them into pieces.
We put them in a clay roaster pan and season well with salt and pepper.
We add the lemon juice and mix.
We bake for about an hour in a strong oven, with the lid closed.
In the last 5-10 minutes we open the lid to brown the food.
Tips
We do not add any water because the vegetables will take out enough moisture.
