Great Lent demands strict self-restraint from believers in all spheres of life, including food. Meat, dairy and fish dishes will have to be excluded from the diet. Even vegetable oil should not be consumed in the first and last weeks of fasting, as well as on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
With all the restrictions, it is still not worth bringing the matter to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, since you can cook tasty and healthy dishes from vegetables, cereals and mushrooms, for example, lean kulesh.
Cut the root vegetables into small cubes, cover with cold water, bring to a boil and cook over low heat. When the roots are half cooked, pour well-washed millet into a saucepan and boil for 10-15 minutes. Then add the potatoes, cut into small cubes. Fry thinly chopped onions in sunflower oil and transfer to a kale when the potatoes are almost ready. Season with salt and add bay leaves and herbs to taste.
