Delicious vegan Greek "mayiritsa" with a variety of mushrooms and fresh herbs.
With a unique aroma and taste and lemon sauce.
In only 45 minutes!
The Greek "mayiritsa", traditionally, has it's honor at the Easter table. We created its variant (with the help of grandmother Ria) and made it not only vegan but also, surprisingly delicious! That is, it is both vegetarian and fasting.
It is mushroom-based. The wider variety of mushrooms you use, the richer the taste will be. To give the vegan Greek "mayiritsa" an even more interesting appearance, cut the mushrooms in different ways. Slice the white ones, dice the brown ones, and cut the oyster mushrooms in stripes.
The vegetables and fresh herbs will give it a delicious aroma, taste and unique freshness! The lemon and mustard-based sauce, will emphasize even more the flavors but also brings together the "mayiritsa" soup, giving it a wonderful texture and a distinctive lemon aroma.
In just 45 minutes, you can have on your Easter table a unique vegan Greek "mayiritsa" which will be appreciated by all your guests, vegan or not.
Enjoy!

Simply Marvelous!
I made this cookbook for everyone. Even those who were not vegan (that is, everyone else except me hahaha!) Enjoyed it! I put whatever herbs I had and again it came out very fragrant. Nice idea, cook with mushrooms, well done!
