When to eat it. Made with oil. Keep it for days when wine and oil are allowed, like weekends in Lent and most of the Nativity Fast.
Ingredients
Method
- Soften the spring onions and garlic in the oil.
- Add the wine and let it bubble off, then the tomatoes and chili. Simmer 10 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and cook 3 to 4 minutes, just until pink.
- Season, scatter parsley and serve in the pan with bread.
Tip. The usual version is topped with feta. Leave it off and nobody misses it.
Fasting customs differ between churches and parishes. When in doubt, follow what your priest gives you. Not sure what today allows? Check the Orthodox calendar.
