I want to offer you some delicious ideas on how to feed yourself and your family during the fast.

What can you eat in the post - menu for lean nutrition

So, many people know that fasting is strict and not strict.

Moreover, during the same fast there are certain differences in the daily diet.

Accordingly, the dishes that are used are different.

Strict fasting and not strict - what are their differences?

All posts vary in their severity.

• Strict post:

during strict fasting, only plant foods (vegetables, fruits, cereals) are allowed, and all animal products are completely excluded. Food can be cooked or raw (these are dry eating days).

• Less strict post:

when vegetable oil is allowed on some days in plant foods.

• Not a strict post:

fish and vegetable oil are allowed on these days. For the rest, all plant food, meat, milk and eggs are not consumed at all.

Lent is considered the strictest. The rest are less strict.

What can you cook in Lent?

Many people think that fasting is only about carrot cutlets, sauerkraut and "empty" rice ... But, in fact, it's not that scary at all, friends!

How do you like lasagna, spaghetti, pizza, various pancakes, dumplings, pancakes, pies and pies? It is not necessary to cook with white wheat flour if we don't want to get better! Can be cooked from buckwheat, corn, oatmeal, pea, etc.

And how do you like various delicious sandwiches with hearty pate, vegetable and mushroom caviar, jelly, mushroom aspic, sweet porridge, dumplings with different fillings and "lazy" dumplings (gnocchi, dumplings, dumplings), julienne, various salads with such a hearty composition, what can we call them a main course and dumplings?

Borsch, cabbage soup, soups, mushroom and nut dishes, and even "scrambled eggs" without eggs!

And how many sweets you can cook, this is generally incomprehensible to the mind!

And sweets, and kozinaki, and pies, and cookies, and even cakes with cream!

Including - cakes without flour, without eggs and without sugar, this is already "aerobatics", but you can also learn it!

And this is not a complete list of those dishes that are called lean ...

And if fish is allowed, then in general - a holiday: this is fish soup, cutlets, meatballs with rice, fish pastes (pates), steamed fish, fried, grilled and in the oven.

With vegetables, stuffed, stewed with mushrooms and onions, various fillings with fish for pies and pancakes ... You can't list everything!

And also mustard oil, coconut, rice, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.

For frying-boiling-stewing, 100% oils and refined are suitable, they are odorless and can be cooked on them, as well as coconut oil.

Where to get protein in a lean diet?

Mushrooms are our "meat" for the period of lean nutrition. This also includes legumes, nuts, herbs and seeds.

All of these foods are very nutritious, high in protein, healthy fats (nuts and seeds), and vitamins and minerals.

During fasting, all of these foods are MANDATORY in the daily diet. In this case, you will not have any "protein starvation".

What cereals are cooked in Lent?

Our Russian porridge is not just food, it is a whole "philosophy"! We are, of course, not talking about quick, instant cereals, which "poured in and immediately ate."

Although, this is also an option: simple oatmeal or a mixture of cereals poured with boiling water or vegetable milk, and with the addition of berries, nuts, fruits and seeds - why not a hearty, tasty breakfast?

And porridge with vegetables, mushrooms - what is not a wonderful and satisfying dish for dinner?

The main idea here is this: porridge is never NOT tasty. Porridge just needs to be cooked correctly.

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, fill it with a sufficiently large amount of boiling water, wrap it in a warm blanket and let it brew all night, 8-10 hours. If the water is not completely absorbed, then drain it, fill it again with a small amount of water and boil it for 10 minutes.

Fry the onion separately, cut into beautiful rings and grated potatoes, add spices and mix with the finished barley.

You can add mushrooms if you like.

Nobody will refuse such porridge!

A similar story is with buckwheat porridge. Do you like with milk? Please: grind seeds or nuts with water in a blender, strain, and you will have the most useful milk in the world! Any porridge is good with vegetable milk, and buckwheat is especially good. Make porridge as sweet or salty as 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?

Buckwheat flour is used to prepare delicious buns, pancakes and "grechaniks" are fried.

Look for spaghetti or any other buckwheat pasta in stores. 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 with sweet nut sauce or honey. This is delicious!

And rice with mushrooms and vegetables? Isn't it pilaf? A very tasty and satisfying dish, you won't even notice the lack of meat ...

For any porridge, you can serve your own sauce. It's easier than ever to make a 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 cereals. This will enrich the taste of your cereals, give them an incredible aroma and make them healthier and easier to digest.

Dried fruits in fasting

Of course, dried fruits are eaten during the fast.

The amount of vitamins in them, of course, decreases, but the amount of sugar increases.

But, despite this, the benefits of dried fruits are still of all doubt, because all trace elements are stored there in the necessary and sufficient quantities.

They are available for sale, they are not that expensive in price, especially since there are many of them and you cannot eat them. Of course, it is better to buy those that have not been processed, that have been dried and stored without being subjected to "chemical attack".

They are not as beautiful and glossy as those that were first poured with sugar syrup and dried under a high temperature, and then also processed with sulfur dioxide, etc., but you know 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 acquire juiciness and softness, and will look like fresh.

You can make a delicious dessert delicacy from any dried fruit.

Especially good in this dessert will be: figs, cherries, large prunes.

Need red berry juice. If it's not the season, then feel free to get your blanks off the shelves and start! Add these spices to the juice: vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, black pepper and sugar. Add dried fruits cut into large pieces, stir and boil it all over very low heat: first without a lid for 50-60 minutes, then under a lid for another 40 minutes. Look, it may take less time. The main thing is for the syrup to become thick.

Such a dessert can be served with tea or porridge, or just cracked with a spoon ...

The use of dried fruits is not limited only to this.

Many amazing things are done with dried fruits: for example, they are added to the filling 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 fasting?

If we do not take into account the "newfangled" soybeans, then mushrooms are just that "meat" that will be on our table during the entire fast.

Mushroom soup, potatoes with mushrooms and onions, vegetable stew with mushrooms, mushroom julienne, mushroom caviar, potato cutlets stuffed with mushrooms, with mushroom gravy (zrazy), mushroom risotto and dumplings with mushrooms ...

All this, of course, can be completely prepared from dried mushrooms and from frozen ones. Not only fed up mushrooms and oyster mushrooms are suitable. Honey mushrooms, chanterelles, aspen mushrooms, porcini mushrooms - everything is good!

Recently, you can also find Japanese shiitake mushrooms. 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 regular supermarkets, take an interest!

Mushrooms have a fantastic variety, and this is a great reason for daily "mushroom experiments" in order to cook often from mushrooms, cook a lot and tasty.

Here are some options:

1. You can make tapenade sandwiches from wild mushrooms: grind capers with olive oil, add lemon juice, season with salt and pepper. The result is a paste that perfectly spreads on toasted slices of bread, and between two slices - slices of mushrooms fried until crisp.
2. And from the good old oyster mushrooms a salad "arises" by itself: mushrooms, apples, celery stalks, lettuce leaves and large berries of dark grapes fried to a beautiful ruddy. Everything is sprinkled with a lemon juice dressing with crushed pine nuts, salt, pepper and a little cinnamon. Mmm ...
3. And the mushrooms fried with soy sauce, honey, sesame seeds and green onions? Served hot right now, they're incredible!

How to Eat Nuts and Seeds in Fasting?

Nuts play an important role in our lean diet.

You can sprinkle them not only on cakes and add them to a salad of beets and garlic ...

During a fast, when almost every protein counts, nuts are simply irreplaceable!

If the nuts are fresh - then this is, consider that "almost a panacea" in the autumn-winter period, when all sorts of colds and ARVI pester us.

Nuts and just so nice to gnaw, and cook nut pastes from them. It does not have to be peanuts, delicious pastes are obtained from absolutely any nuts! It is even better to make from nuts, moreover, from raw ones. Still, peanut butter is a controversial product ...

Although, if you really want to - then you can, just not much. It is very easy to cook it at home: roast peeled peanuts in the oven, twist them in a meat grinder twice, add salt and water to the desired consistency.

Or twist everything in a blender at once - peanuts + salt + water.

Use the same principle to make a paste from raw nuts:

• Want some sweet stuff? No problem: add honey and cinnamon.
• Do you want something unusual? Please: add pepper, just a little honey and spices. A very original taste is obtained from nut butter!
• Want something more satisfying? Then combine the nuts slightly fried in the oven in a blender (walnuts are perfect for this appetizer, but you can from any, be guided by your taste), fried onions, salt, pepper and water. Very, very tasty, hearty and aromatic appetizer! It smells so that you immediately need to spread it on a loaf of bread and eat until the homemade ones are "grinded", 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 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 - make a pasta, and every morning spread a thin layer on a piece of bread, crispy toast, biscuits (you can sweet or salty) or whole grain bread. Hearty, tasty, healthy, what else is needed, right?

Make sweet pastes, make salty ones you want!

Who said that tahini should be exactly salty?

Aren't you afraid to experiment? Then prepare sweet tahini: sesame seeds (you can raw, or you can fried in a dry pan, with fried seeds it turns out many times more aromatic) + honey + cinnamon + salt.

This is such a funky thing, friends! To say that it is delicious is to say nothing! Therefore, as soon as you cook it, rake yourself a spoon on a loaf of bread, and only then call your family, although you won't need to call them, I'm sure: the aroma of fried sesame seeds is such a thing that they themselves will come running to, believe me!

Here's 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 - 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 need.

Then you take apples, carrots, celery stalks, cucumbers and whatever else you come up with, cut into pieces and eat them, dipping them in the prepared sauce.

Very tasty, unusual, nutritious and mega-healthy snack! Be sure to cook it, you will definitely like it!

I really love to cook various pastes and pates from seeds and nuts, it helps 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 be spread not only on bread, they can be used both as fillings, and add your own porridges, and in spaghetti - instead of sauce.

Store nut or seed paste in the refrigerator.

And how do you like the idea of \u200b\u200bkharcho soup, gazpacho, pickle? You can continue the list. All this can be cooked without meat, and all this is quite tasty and nutritious!

Alena Yasneva was with you, Health and Tasty Fast to everyone!

The time of fasting for Orthodox Christians is considered the time of working on oneself, both in the spiritual and in the physical sense. Refusal of entertainment, empty talk, forgiveness of past grievances, observance of religious rituals are an integral part of the fast. You can find an example of a lean menu in this article.

Diet rules during fasting

Before deciding to fast, you should consider your willingness to be restricted. Pregnant women, retirees, people with stomach problems, it is better to limit the observance of spiritual fasting. The main thing in this process is to be honest with yourself and calculate your strength. A hungry stomach should not distract one from eating spiritual food.

During the fast, the consumption of meat, dairy and seafood is limited. Sometimes fish are allowed. It all depends on how strict the fast you decide to observe.

The strictest option is to completely avoid food for the whole day. It is only suitable for completely healthy people who are not exposed to physical activity.

In the Orthodox calendar, there are days of fasting, on which the use of hot and oily food is prohibited. Residents of northern cities should think several times before deciding on such an experiment.

The menu must be maintained on the last day of the Maslenitsa week. On this day, it is customary to ask for forgiveness from loved ones and let go of insults.

Exit post

During fasting, the stomach adapts to a new rhythm, so new foods can harm it. That is why you need to return to your usual food gradually, expanding the lean menu. Delicious meats, sweets, pastries, and alcohol should be consumed in small quantities.

Lent is coming soon, and for many people this is one of the opportunities to test themselves. After all, he is considered the strictest and most important of all the others. Lean food at this time should not include fish, meat, milk, or eggs.

Strict character

Also excluded, for example, are sweets and mayonnaise. The recipes contain only plant-based ingredients: vegetables and fruits, cereals, mushrooms, nuts, pickles. Sometimes on holidays (Annunciation and Palm Sunday), as an exception, lean dishes containing fish are allowed. Dry eating is practiced on many days: bread, vegetables, fruits and water. Tuesday and Thursday - oil-free meals. On other days, vegetable oil is recommended for cooking. You can easily find a detailed fasting schedule (what and when to eat) in various Orthodox calendars - this is not classified information!

Vegetarianism and fasting

Lenten food and vegetarian meals are very different, so do not confuse them. The second does not exclude butter, cheese, eggs, but prohibits fish products. While lean food does not contain "milk", eggs of any bird, fish, caviar and all kinds of seafood are allowed on certain days.

Make it delicious!

Many people tend to consider this kind of food as something tasteless and even joyless (as much as the cooking process itself can bring joy and pleasure). However, if you look closely, excluding many animal proteins from the list, we leave in it a lot of necessary and healthy products, from which, for sure, if properly prepared, should turn out to be delicious lean food. And sometimes these dishes can be tastier than ordinary ones, meat or dairy ones. We must not forget about the need for proper registration. After all, skillfully decorated food is more pleasant to eat. You can use a variety of greens - they are usually consumed in unlimited quantities during the fast! And now let's move on directly to cooking.

Lean food: recipes

Like a regular table, the lean one is divided into first and second courses, various snacks and salads, and drinks. Only ingredients permitted at this time are used everywhere. As already mentioned, we exclude meat, dairy products, animal fats, eggs from the menu. Everything else can be cooked. So, let's start with the first courses.

Rassolnik

Ingredients: three medium-sized potatoes, one pickled cucumber, one carrot, an onion, half a glass of pearl barley, a handful of chopped cabbage, seasonings (who likes what).

Boil pearl barley in a small saucepan. When the cereal has not been cooked yet, add the diced potatoes. Meanwhile, grate the carrots and cucumber. Finely chop the onion. In vegetable oil, prepare a fry of onions and carrots. Add it to the pan, then throw in the cucumber and cabbage, prepared in advance. Stir and cook for about ten minutes over low heat. Toss in seasonings and salt to taste before being ready. An excellent alternative to pickle in meat broth is ready! Some may not even notice (judging from their own experience) that there is no meat in the soup, this is a delicious lean food. Pickle recipes can vary. For example, you can chop a lot of greens - onions, parsley and dill - and put them in the soup before serving. You can use sour cabbage instead of fresh cabbage. In our opinion, it turns out even tastier this way.

Lean soup with vegetables

And for those who do not want or know how to cook, but who like lean food, food delivery is carried out by catering establishments directly to the client's house!

Bon appetite to all fasting people!

According to the rules, during the fast you must adhere to rather strict restrictions on food, and not everyone can withstand this, so you can start small, for example, fast on Wednesday or Friday. It is worth remembering that on such days you cannot eat any dairy products, meat and eggs, it is also advisable to refuse vegetable oil, since it is allowed to be consumed only on weekends.

But even taking into account such strict restrictions, you can eat not only healthy, but also delicious food, because today a fairly large number of various simple lean dishes are known.

Vegetarian borscht

It is forbidden to eat meat during Lent, but you can cook an equally delicious vegetarian borscht. The recipe for such borscht is very simple, besides, it cooks much faster, and the ingredients practically do not change. However, for the preparation of this borscht, vegetable oil is used, which, according to the rules of the fast, is allowed only on weekends. But this recipe is also suitable for those who are not very strict in fasting.

Ingredients:

50 g cabbage
200 g tomato juice,
1 bunch of dill
1 tsp mustard (if desired, can be replaced with wasabi),
1 tbsp. l. flour,
2 garlic cloves
1 medium beet
1 medium carrot
1 onion
4 medium potatoes
spices and salt - a little, to taste,
vegetable oil - a little, for frying.

Preparation:

First, take a saucepan and pour 2 liters of water into it, put it on the stove. Using this lean recipe, you can easily cook delicious vegetarian borscht in a multicooker.

While the water is boiling, let's start preparing other products. We take the potatoes, peel them and cut them into relatively small cubes. After the water boils, put the chopped potatoes in a saucepan, tighten the fire to a minimum and cook for a quarter of an hour.

Now we are preparing the frying. Peel the garlic and onion, wash well and chop finely. We peel the carrots, wash, three on a coarse grater. We put a frying pan on the stove, pour a little vegetable oil (about 2 tablespoons). As soon as the oil is hot, put the onion, garlic in the pan, and then fry until the vegetables acquire a pleasant golden hue.

Then add carrots to the onion with garlic, cover the pan with a lid and fry the vegetables over low heat for about 5 minutes. Now we take the beets, peel them, wash them and grind them on a coarse grater. Put the prepared beets in a pan with vegetables, mix everything well and simmer under a closed lid for another 5 minutes (it is important that there is a minimum fire).

After about 5 minutes, remove the lid and sprinkle the whole mass with a small amount of flour, and then add mustard (you can use wasabi) and mix everything again.

Now add tomato juice to the pan, season the frying with salt and a little pepper, cover the pan with a lid again and leave for 10 minutes.

By this time, the potatoes should be half cooked. Now lightly add water in a saucepan with potatoes and put all the frying in the broth, mix well and let it boil for about 10 minutes.

We wash and grind fresh dill. Put chopped cabbage in a saucepan with borscht. Cook the dish for about 3 more minutes, then turn off the stove, cover the pan with a lid and leave for half an hour so that the borscht can brew well.

Vegetarian borscht is completely ready, we can pour it into portioned plates, add some fresh herbs and sour cream, serve it to the lean table.

Cabbage with mushrooms

On Saturday and Sunday, when it is allowed to eat vegetable oil during fasting, you can prepare not only a tasty, but also quite satisfying dish, besides, it is not only very quick and easy to prepare, but also contains a minimum amount of calories, that is, it is dietary. That is why it can be cooked not only during fasting, but also on any day, if there is a desire to lose some weight.

Ingredients:

1 large onion
300 g of mushrooms
500 g sauerkraut,
1 kg of fresh cabbage,
pepper and salt - a little, to taste,
vegetable oil - a little, to taste.

Preparation:

Thanks to the use of fresh cabbage, the dish is tender and juicy, and sauerkraut adds a little piquancy, making the taste more interesting and savory.

First, we prepare fresh cabbage - finely chop it. Then wash the mushrooms thoroughly with cold running water, and then cut them into thin slices. In the event that pickled mushrooms are used, they must also be cut into wedges.

Now we take the onion, peel and chop finely. Put a frying pan on the stove, pour a little oil and simmer the onion over low heat until it becomes translucent and soft. Next, add the prepared mushrooms to the onion.

Fry the mushrooms with onions until they are half cooked, then season with a little salt and pepper (if desired, you can not add ground pepper at all, then the taste of the dish will turn out to be more tender and soft). Transfer the mushrooms and onions to a separate plate.

Then we take a new frying pan, add literally a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil and wait until it gets hot. Now put fresh cabbage in a frying pan and fry over medium heat, season with salt, cover with a lid (so the cabbage will let juice much faster). Periodically, so that the cabbage does not burn, it must be stirred. Simmer cabbage in this way for 5-7 minutes.

After the specified period of time has elapsed, put all the sauerkraut in the pan, and simmer again for 7 minutes (now you do not need to cover the pan with a lid). Then add to the pan with cabbage and mushrooms, mix everything well and simmer for about 5 minutes, turn off the stove.

It is very important not to overexpose the cabbage on the fire, since only in this case it will be sufficiently juicy and crispy, and will not decay. The advantage of this recipe is not only its taste and minimum calorie content, but also the fact that, under the condition of moderate heat treatment, all useful properties and vitamins are preserved in cabbage.

Lean stuffed pepper

Having prepared this simple and very tasty dish, you can diversify the lean table and pleasantly surprise your loved ones. The advantage of this dish is that it is not necessary to use vegetable oil, so it can be cooked on any day of Lent.

Ingredients:

1/3 part of a small head of cabbage,
100 g of rice
5 large mushrooms,
1 small carrot
3 large bell peppers,
pepper and salt - a little, to taste.

Preparation:

Before starting to prepare this dish, take rice and soak it in cold water beforehand. Thus, all excess starch will be removed from the rice much faster and easier, making the rice more tasty, tender and crumbly.

Then we take the mushrooms and cut them into small pieces. It is worth remembering that during the frying process, the pieces of mushrooms will curl up, as a result of which they will become several times smaller, so they must be cut into such pieces so that they can be felt in the filling.

Now we take onions, peel them and chop them finely. In a frying pan for 20 minutes under a closed lid, simmer onions with mushrooms (vegetable oil can be omitted).

Rice can be cooked in a skillet or double boiler. If we cook rice in a frying pan, it is important to remember that the lid must not be lifted until all the liquid has completely evaporated (water must be poured just enough so that it is only one finger above the rice level).

Chop the cabbage finely, as it should not be too long, otherwise it will be very difficult to mix it with the rest of the filling ingredients. We clean the carrots, wash them and three on a coarse grater. In a skillet, simmer cabbage with carrots for about 20 minutes under a closed lid.

While the cabbage is stewing, let's prepare the pepper for stuffing. First, carefully cut off the top of each pepper, after which I wash them not only from the outside, but also from the inside. We do not discard the cut off hats, as they will still come in handy. Now we take a knife and carefully remove all internal membranes, wash out the remaining seeds with water.

As soon as all the ingredients for the filling are ready, mix them, lightly season the filling with a small amount of pepper and salt. We take a teaspoon and stuff each pepper, then cover each pepper with caps and boil them in water for about half an hour, until fully cooked.

Lean stuffed pepper is ready, and this dish can become worthy of respect for any table, not only during fasting, but also on any other day. If desired, the stuffed pepper can be served with herbs and lean mayonnaise.

Lean pea cutlets with rice

Fasting is just the perfect time to cleanse your body by eliminating animal products from your own diet, therefore, you should give up fish, meat, eggs, milk, and also minimize the use of a variety of sweets. You can try to cook delicious and very healthy lean pea cutlets with rice.

Ingredients:

1 slice of plain bread
4 tbsp. l. flour,
1 tbsp. peas,
1 tbsp. rice,
bread crumbs or semolina - a little,
spices - a little, to taste,

Preparation:

First, we take two saucepans, since we will cook peas in one, and rice in the second. So, take the peas, put them in a saucepan, fill them with water (cold!) And move them onto the stove. Simultaneously set to cook and rice. As soon as the rice and peas are completely ready, pour them into one container and make mashed potatoes. Now add a small amount of pre-chopped greens to the rice and pea puree and mix everything well.

Spices play one of the main roles in the preparation of delicious lean dishes, since, thanks to their addition, the dish acquires a brighter taste and richer aroma. Add a small amount of your favorite spices to the rice and pea puree, as well as flour, as it gives the mass additional stickiness. Next, add a slice of plain bread.

Stir the mass until it acquires a homogeneous consistency, and then you need to wait a little, since the finished rice and pea puree should cool completely. Now we proceed directly to the formation of the cutlets themselves. Further, each cutlet is rolled on both sides in semolina or bread crumbs.

It is worth remembering that it is necessary to fry the pea cutlets in vegetable oil, so it is advisable to cook this dish on the weekend, since it is on these days during the observance of Lent that it is allowed to use vegetable oil.

Pea cutlets are fried in a pan with hot vegetable oil on both sides until fully cooked (cutlets should be fried over medium heat). It is recommended to serve this dish hot with any side dish.

Diet potatoes

Diet potatoes are not only allowed to be eaten during fasting, but also if there is a desire to get rid of a couple of extra pounds, since it contains a minimum amount of calories. To prepare potatoes according to this recipe, you need to add vegetable oil, so this dish is suitable for those who are not very strict in fasting.

Ingredients:

1 kg of potatoes,
2-3 garlic cloves,
salt - a little, to taste,
vegetable oil - a little, for lubrication,
fresh herbs - a little to taste.

Preparation:

We clean the garlic and potatoes. In the event that a large potato is taken, then we cut it into several pieces. Now we squeeze the garlic into the potatoes. We wash the fresh herbs and tear them with our hands, as this way it will retain all its aroma.

Season everything with salt and mix well, grease with a small amount of vegetable oil and transfer the potatoes to a prepared baking sleeve.

Tie the sleeve tightly on both sides and place in a preheated oven. We bake the potatoes until they become soft (we check the readiness of the potatoes with a fork).

We transfer the finished dietary potatoes to a beautiful dish, decorate with several leaves of fresh mint, you can add tomatoes, and serve.

Such dietary potatoes are suitable not only for fasting, but also become a worthy decoration for any festive table.
