Lent is a solemn religious observance for Christians, a period that lasts approximately 6 weeks between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. During this period one is urged to give up vices or temptations of any kind.
Most Christians go on a pure vegetarian diet (one that includes no meat, fish or eggs) or a semi vegetarian diet (one that includes fish, seafood & eggs)
I have tried to compile a list of almost all vegetarian recipes on my blog that cover a wide range of categories like breakfast, snacks, soups, salads, starters, mains & sides that will help you plan your menu this Lent.
This compilation pretty much sums up the veg recipes on my blog excluding sweets, desserts and festive foods as Lent is a time of penance and self denial. If I find that I have missed some categories, I will update it soon. If you don’t find a particular recipe that you may have seen before in the below list kindly email me at ruchikrandhap@gmail.com and I will include it here.
