Vegetable stew with beans

Vegetable stew with beans (canned beans stewed with vegetables) - a delicious hot dish of vegetables, which I recommend to include in the fasting menu, so that it is not boring. Monastic chefs advise you not to radically change your diet during fasting, but simply to exclude animal products from it. Prepare borscht without meat, lasagna with mushrooms, vegetarian cake, but do not forget that, having refused meat products, you are depriving your body of protein. There is always a way out of this situation: find protein in plants. Peas, chickpeas and lentils contain about 20% of vegetable protein, therefore, canned beans stew with vegetables will successfully replace potatoes with meat in your dinner.

Another important detail is the cooking speed, in the case of legumes this is very important. Dry peas, lentils, chickpeas or beans require pre-soaking and long-term heat treatment. I advise you to stock up on canned beans for fasting, which significantly reduces the time for preparing lunch or dinner.
