When you think about Greek Easter, I’m sure I can guess the first recipe you think of: lamb, right? I don’t blame you! For many, the cliched images of Greek lamb on a spit are conjured along with any conversation about Greece, and maybe during any time of year, but especially in the springtime.

Here in Greece, we’re just about to enter into the Lenten season. Greek Orthodox Lent starts with Clean Monday, on February 27th this year, and will last right up until Easter, on Sunday, April 16. For the entire 40 days, those who follow the fast abstain from all animal products and fish but not seafood, which is what I am focusing on today!

It may seem like a counter-intuitive move to let a method called “chaos cooking” sneak into your kitchen.

In Greek cooking, vegetables tend to reign supreme, and while I certainly don’t play favorites, there are some that have become pantry staples and necessary components of essential recipes. The onion is one of them, a vital element to so much Greek cooking. They’re grown all over the world, and are related to chives, garlic, leeks, scallions, and shallots - some of the greatest ingredients for adding flavor to any dish!
