Lent is a great event for the Christian world. After all, religious people believe that these days the physical body comes into harmony with the spiritual world, is cleansed of sinful deeds and thoughts and approaches God.
From the article you will learn about the four main ones about what kind of food should be taken at this time, and which one is better to abstain from. We will tell you what lean food is and give recipes for its preparation.
Four major Christian fasts
It starts on November 28 and lasts forty days, including January 6. On all his days, except for odd weekdays and Saturdays, everything is allowed, except for certain foods, and vegetable oil and fish are allowed on weekends and on even days.
Lenten food for Great Lent, which begins 49 days before Easter Sunday, consists mainly of vegetables and fish, except for the 7th, 4th and 1st weeks.
On the 58th day after Easter begins and ends on the Day of Peter and Paul. Vegetable oil and fish dishes are prohibited only on odd days of the week, except weekends.
The Dormition fast lasts 14 days from August 14 to August 27. Vegetable oil is consumed on weekends, and fish can only be eaten on Apple Savior Day, August 19th.
What you can and can not eat in the post
In fasting, as a rule, it is forbidden to eat:
- on strict days - dairy products, eggs and fish;
- poultry and animal meat.
It is allowed to eat:
- not rich;
- soy and bean products with a high content of vegetable protein;
- porridge on the water;
- nuts, fruits, dried fruits;
- mushrooms;
- boiled, stewed, salted vegetables;
- vegetable oil and fish on permitted days.
On these days, cooking is given considerable attention, because lean food, the recipes of which we will give in the article, should contain not only permitted foods, but also be healthy, tasty and nutritious.
First Lenten Meals
The lenten menu must necessarily contain first courses, because dry food harms the digestive tract and causes heartburn and other gastrointestinal disorders. Not everyone knows, but the first courses beloved by many, hodgepodge and cabbage soup, can be prepared without meat and butter, and lean food will not lose its taste and aroma from this.
Solyanka
A day before cooking, soak 0.5 tbsp of red beans, cook it for one and a half to two hours in salted water. When the beans are ready, leave the broth for the hodgepodge, and put the beans separately in a deep plate. Chop 1 medium sized onion into cubes. 2 pickled cucumbers, peeled, cut into cubes.

I decided to write an article about what you can eat in fasting, what dishes you can cook on a fasting table.
After all, you want to eat tasty, varied, healthy and not boring, so that every day you don’t eat the same thing, right?
I want to offer you some delicious ideas on how to feed yourself and your family during the fasting period.
From this article you will learn:
What can you eat in the post - menu for lean nutrition
So, many people know that fasting can be strict and not strict.
Moreover, during the same fast there are certain differences in the daily diet.
Accordingly, the dishes that are consumed are different.
Strict fasting and not strict - what is the difference between them?
All posts vary in their degree of severity.
- Strict post:
during strict fasting, only plant foods (vegetables, fruits, cereals) are allowed, and all animal products are completely excluded. Food can be thermally processed or raw (these are days of dry eating).
- Less strict post:
when allowed on some days vegetable oil in dishes from plant foods.
- Not a strict post:
fish and vegetable oil are allowed these days. Otherwise, all food is plant-based, meat, milk and eggs are not consumed at all.
Lent is considered the strictest. The rest are less strict.

As well as mustard oil, coconut, rice, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
For frying-cooking-stewing, 100% oils and refined ones are suitable, they are odorless and can be cooked on, as well as coconut oil.
Where to get protein in a lean diet?
Mushrooms are our "meat" for the period of lean nutrition. This includes legumes, nuts, herbs and seeds.
All of these foods are highly nutritious, high in protein, healthy fats (nuts and seeds), and vitamins and minerals.
During fasting, all these products are MANDATORY in the daily diet. In this case, you will not have any "protein starvation".
What kind of cereals are prepared for fasting?
Our Russian porridge is not just food, it is a whole "philosophy"! This, of course, is not about quick, instant cereals, which “filled in and ate right away.”
Although, this is also an option: simple oatmeal or a mixture of cereals, filled with boiling water or vegetable milk, and with the addition of berries, nuts, fruits and seeds - why not a hearty, delicious breakfast?
And porridge with vegetables, mushrooms - why not a wonderful and hearty dish for dinner?
The main idea here is this: porridge is never NOT tasty. The porridge just needs to be cooked properly.
Here's an example: barley. Do not love? You just don't know how to cook it!…
Here you need to know the secret of delicious barley. Try to do this: rinse it, pour enough boiling water over it, wrap it in a warm blanket and let it brew all night, 8-10 hours. If all the water is not absorbed, then drain it, fill it again with a small amount of water and boil it for 10 minutes.
Fry separately the onion, cut into beautiful rings and grated potatoes, add spices and mix with the finished barley.
You can also add mushrooms if you like.
No one will refuse such porridge!
A similar story with buckwheat porridge. Do you like it with milk? Please: grind seeds or nuts with water in a blender, strain, and you will have the healthiest milk in the world! Any porridge is good with vegetable milk, and buckwheat is especially good. Make it sweet or savory, whichever you like.
An excellent option for buckwheat porridge is buckwheat with onions, carrots and other fried vegetables.
Buckwheat with mushrooms and onions - who would refuse it, right?
Very tasty buns, pancakes are prepared from buckwheat flour and “Grechaniki” are fried.
In stores, look for spaghetti or any other pasta made from buckwheat flour. It is very tasty and unusual!
Prepare sweet pilaf from rice: add steamed raisins, nuts, seeds, any fresh berries or fruits to boiled rice, pour over with sweet nut sauce or honey. This is a meal!
And rice with mushrooms and vegetables? Why not swim? A very tasty and satisfying dish, the absence of meat and you will not notice ...
Any porridge can be served with a sauce prepared by yourself. It's easier than ever - to prepare the sauce from the same seeds or nuts. You can make vegetable sauce, tomato sauce, sweet fruit and berry sauce.
Be sure to add spices to any cereal. This will enrich the taste of your cereals, give them an incredible flavor and make them healthier and easier to digest.
Dried fruits in post
Of course, dried fruits are eaten in fasting.
The amount of vitamins in them, of course, falls, but the amount of sugar increases.
But, despite this, the benefits of dried fruits are still all in doubt, because all trace elements are stored there in the necessary and sufficient quantity.
They are commercially available, they are not so expensive in price, especially since there are a lot of them and you can’t eat them. Of course, it is better to buy those that have not been processed, that have been dried and stored without being exposed to "chemical attack."
They are not as beautiful and glossy as those that were first soaked in sugar syrup and dried at high temperature, and then treated with sulfur dioxide, etc., but you know for 100% that you do not harm yourself by using their.
You can eat dried fruits and just like that, say, with tea. To do this, it is better to pre-soak them in water. They will become juicy and soft, and will look like fresh ones.
From any dried fruit you can make a delicious dessert-delicacy.
Especially good in this dessert will be: figs, cherries, large prunes.
Need juice from red berries. If it’s not the season, then feel free to take your blanks off the shelves and get started! Add the following spices to the juice: vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, black pepper and sugar. Add dried fruits cut into large pieces, mix and boil it all over a very low heat: first without a lid for 50-60 minutes, then under the lid for another 40 minutes. Look, it may take less time. The main thing is that the syrup becomes thick.
Such a dessert can be served with tea, served with porridge, and just cracked with a spoon ...
The use of dried fruits is not limited to this.
Many amazing things are done with dried fruits: for example, they are added to the stuffing for stuffing tomatoes, sweet bell peppers and eggplant. They are stewed with red beans and fried onions.
It turns out unusual, original and piquant.
How to cook mushrooms in the post?
If we do not take into account the “newfangled” soy, then mushrooms are exactly the “meat” that will be on our table during the entire post.
Mushroom soup, potatoes with mushrooms and onions, vegetable stew with mushrooms, mushroom julienne, mushroom caviar, potato cutlets stuffed with mushrooms with mushroom sauce (zrazy), mushroom risotto and dumplings with mushrooms…
All this, of course, can be prepared quite calmly from dried mushrooms and from frozen ones. Not only bored champignons and oyster mushrooms will do. Honey mushrooms, chanterelles, aspen mushrooms, porcini mushrooms - everything is good!
Recently, Japanese shiitake mushrooms can also be found. He is the "world champion" in the fight against cancer. In addition, they are incredibly tasty, the Japanese know a lot!
And the huge, just giant portobello mushrooms? It tastes like pure chicken! And they are quite often sold in ordinary supermarkets, ask!
Mushrooms have a fantastic variety, and this is a great occasion for daily "mushroom experiments" in order to cook mushrooms often, cook a lot and tasty.
Here are some options for you:
- You can make sandwiches with tapenade from forest mushrooms: grind capers with olive oil, add lemon juice, season with salt and pepper. It turns out such a paste that is perfectly smeared on toasted slices of bread, and between two slices - slices of mushrooms fried to a crisp.
- And from the good old oyster mushrooms, a salad “emerges” by itself: mushrooms, apples, celery stalks, lettuce and large berries of dark grapes fried to a beautiful ruddy. Everything is drizzled with a dressing of lemon juice with crushed pine nuts, salt, pepper and a little cinnamon. Mmm…
- And champignons fried with soy sauce, honey, sesame seeds and green onions? Served hot, immediately, they are incredible!
How to use nuts and seeds in fasting?
Nuts play an important role in our lean diet.
They can not only sprinkle cakes and add to a salad of beets and garlic ...
During fasting, when almost every protein counts, nuts are simply an irreplaceable thing!
If the nuts are fresh, then this is, consider that “almost a panacea” in the autumn-winter period, when all sorts of colds and SARS pester us.
Nuts are just so nice to nibble on and make nut pastes out of them. It does not have to be peanuts, very tasty pastes are obtained from absolutely any nuts! It is even better to make from nuts, moreover, from raw ones. Still, peanut butter is an ambiguous product ...
Although, if you really want to, then you can, but not much. It is very easy to cook at home: roast peeled peanuts in the oven, twist it in a meat grinder twice, add salt and water to the desired consistency.
Or immediately twist everything in a blender - peanuts + salt + water.
The same principle is used to make raw nut paste:
- Do you want something sweet? No problem: add honey and cinnamon.
- Do you want something unusual? Please: add pepper, quite a bit of honey and spices. A very original taste is obtained from nut paste!
- Want something more satisfying? Then combine in a blender lightly roasted nuts in the oven (walnuts are perfect for this appetizer, but you can use any, be guided by your taste), fried onions, salt, pepper and water. Very, very tasty, hearty and fragrant snack! It smells so that you immediately need to spread it on your bread and eat it until the homemade “grind”, otherwise you won’t get it, believe me!
- If you want to make something "more impressive" for a snack, then you can add boiled beans and a little bit of garlic to this recipe. Again: we scroll everything in a blender with the addition of water to the desired pasty consistency.
- You can do the same with seeds - cook a paste, and every morning spread a thin layer on your slice of bread, crispy toast, cookies (you can sweet or salty) or whole grain bread. Hearty, tasty, healthy, what else do you need, right?
Make sweet pastes, make salty ones, whatever you want!
Who said tahini has to be salty?
Are you afraid of experiments? Then prepare sweet tahini: sesame seeds (can be raw or fried in a dry frying pan, with fried seeds it turns out many times more fragrant) + honey + cinnamon + salt.
This is such an amazing thing, folks! To say it's delicious is an understatement! Therefore, as soon as you cook, grab yourself a spoonful of bread, and only then call your family, although you won’t have to call them, I’m sure: the aroma of roasted sesame seeds is such a thing that they themselves will come running to, believe me!
Here is another very, very original idea for a snack: raw almonds, lemon juice, a little honey, fresh basil leaves, salt, a little garlic and ginger (proportions are arbitrary, to your taste) scroll through a meat grinder or in a blender, adding so much water, to get a paste of the consistency you want.
Then you take apples, carrots, celery stalks, cucumbers and whatever else you can think of, cut into pieces and eat them, dipping them in the prepared sauce.
Very tasty, unusual, nutritious and mega-healthy snack! Be sure to cook, you will definitely like it!
I really like to cook various pastas and pates from seeds and nuts, it helps out so much when there is no time, but you need to eat something quickly, preferably healthy!
And do not be afraid of the calorie content, you, even if you want, will not be able to eat a lot, it's very satisfying!
Such pastes can not only be spread on bread, they can be used as fillings, and add to your own porridges, and spaghetti instead of sauce.
Store nut or seed paste in the refrigerator.

Alena Yasneva was with you, Health and Delicious Lent to everyone!
The Lent of the Holy Forty Day is called Great Lent in connection with the special importance of its establishment. Traditionally, the Holy Forty Day and all divine services begin with Vespers of the Maslenitsa (cheesy) week. During the evening service on Forgiveness Sunday, when there is a rite or rite of general forgiveness in the temple.
Great Lent was established mainly in memory of the forty-day fast of Jesus Christ, who soon after His baptism went into the wilderness and fasted there (Matt. 4, 2), as well as in memory of the forty-day fast of Moses (Ex. 34, 28) and Elijah ( 1 Kings 19:8).
The fact that the fast was established by the apostles and lasted forty days almost from the beginning of its establishment, there is evidence from ancient times, and the name "Fourteen" itself is often found in ancient written monuments.
However, the fast of the Holy Forty Days (which lasted everywhere for 40 days) was observed in the ancient Church not at the same time. This depended on the unequal calculation of the days of fasting and the days when it was allowed. In the Eastern Churches, the observance of Great Lent, which still exists to this day, was established in the 4th century.
Great Lent consists of a forty-day fast (Fourteen) and the fast of Passion Week “for the sake of the saving passions” of Christ. The Apostolic Decrees on Great Lent say: “Let this fast (Fourteen) be celebrated before the fast of Pascha (Passion Week)” (book 5, ch. I).
The ancient Christians observed Great Lent with particular strictness, even abstaining from drinking water until the ninth (third in the afternoon) hour of the day. Food was eaten after the ninth hour, eating bread and vegetables. Meat, milk, cheese, eggs were forbidden.
The rules for observing Great Lent are also reflected in the Church Charter. During the first and Holy Weeks, the Orthodox Church prescribes keeping a particularly strict fast. On Monday and Tuesday of the first week, it is prescribed to observe the highest degree of fasting: “It is by no means appropriate to eat.” In the rest of the weeks of fasting, except for Saturdays and Sundays - dry food. On Saturdays and Sundays, cooked food with oil (vegetable oil) is allowed. And only on the feast of the Annunciation, if it does not fall on Holy Week, is it allowed to eat fish.
The Church strictly condemns those who violate Great Lent, but, acting in the spirit of God's love and mercy, does not impose the rules of fasting in its entirety on children, the sick, the infirm, and the elderly, does not alienate them from participation in the joy of communion and Pascha. But those who are weak in body, like those who are healthy, are obliged during Great Lent to do deeds of love and mercy and, as in other fasts, to keep spiritual fasting from sins.
In numerous stichera and troparia of the services of the Holy Fortecost, the Church explains the essence of true fasting as a means of spiritual rebirth: a time of spiritual achievement, strengthening oneself in self-sacrifice, and mortifying sinful desires. Therefore, in hymns, the Church calls the Holy Forty Day a joyful time of fasting.
By eating lean foods, a person will not feel weakened, since such food fully satisfies the needs of the body. A person adhering to the restrictions during fasting feels cheerful and light. A person adhering to the restrictions during fasting feels cheerful and light, and not weakened and exhausted, as some believe. Many people follow this diet all their lives and feel very good about it. In order for lean food to be tasty and look beautiful on the table, we created this section on the site. It is important to know the history of Lent and the meaning of Lenten cuisine in Russia.
- Great Lent begins 49 days before Easter.
- His goal is to prepare for the Easter holiday within 7 weeks.
- The first 40 days are considered a type of Jesus fasting in the wilderness for 40 days after being baptized.
- Subsequent: Day 1 is Lazarus Saturday, the second day is Palm Sunday and Holy Week - the final 6 days.
- The last week is the most important, as it helps to refresh the memory of the last week of our Lord's life. These are the resurrection of Lazarus, the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on a donkey, and the Last Supper and Jesus' sermons.
