Fasting among Romanians, customs and traditions

Christmas Lent is a period full of meanings, customs and traditions in Romanian culture. During these weeks, many households return to humble menus, eliminating animal products and rediscovering ancient recipes. Among them, Falafel has started to gain ground, being an excellent option for those who want Lent, fast, nutritious and delicious food.

Diversifying fasting recipes: the role of chickpea meatballs (Falafel)

Delicious fasting recipes are essential to maintain a balanced and interesting diet during these weeks. Although traditional Romanian cuisine offers many options, the introduction of Falafel, with its oriental origins, adds extra flavor and originality to fasting meals. These crispy balls made of chickpeas and spices are not only satisfying, but also extremely versatile.
