February 23: Clean Monday (fish)

Try an orthodox tradition with easy Greek fish recipes! Clean Monday is the first day of Lent for those in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. It refers to abandoning sinful foods and practices for a more contemplative period. Fish is allowed on major feast days during this time so traditional recipes include many variations for seafood.

Dishfolio food bloggers found many opportunities to enjoy fish with traditional Greek flair. The fish is often served with a traditional Clean Monday bread called lagana. While olive oil is considered a product for abstention, few people quit using it to cook. The result is fish and shellfish recipes flavored lightly with oil and lemon, accompanied by simple sides. These quick and easy dinner ideas promote a simple food styling for those nights in which overwhelming flavor may not be preferable. Consider it an opportunity to really taste your food and enjoy experimenting with Greek cuisine!
