Greek Vegan Recipes

Greek vegan recipes come naturally: vegetables, legumes, rice and plenty of olive oil are at the heart of Greek cooking, and many traditional dishes are made without animal products. They include Fasolakia, green beans stewed with tomatoes and potatoes in olive oil, and Spanakorizo, Greek spinach rice.

Vegetarian Greek dishes like spanakopita with feta, tzatziki with yogurt or kolokithokeftedes are easy to veganize without losing their typical flavor:

  • Spanakopita: crisp phyllo with spinach and tofu instead of feta, delicious warm or cold.
  • Tzatziki Sauce: creamy, with dill and quick to make, every bit as good as the original.
  • Zucchini Fritters: crisp outside, tender inside, made without potatoes and egg, inspired by Greek kolokithokeftedes.
  • Almond Feta Cheese: baked in the oven and full of flavor, for salads, pasta or on bread.
