Stew is a traditional Greek food. Of course, this recipe is vegan and super tasty! The main ingredient is cauliflower. The onions that come with it are the ones that make this recipe a... stew.
As a plant-based recipe it is also fasting. It is cooked in a pot and served as a main course. Of course you can make it more "intense"* and serve it as an appetizer.
A simple and very quick recipe.
