I enjoy this recipe as an easy and enjoyable dish. I just switch out olive oil and use vegetable broth. I know it isn't fancy but it's delicious, filling, and easy to make.

I also enjoy taking the time to make meatless cabbage rolls with a mushroom and rice filling. I've posted a photo of the recipe and I'll post the filling in another post.

Mushroom filling- can also be used to fill dumplings.

Thanks anon, those both look really good. I think I will try out the cabbage rolls with the stuffing this weekend.

My go-to dishes during fasts are:
Black bean and corn chile
Stuffed peppers
Lentil soup with artichokes

I can post the recipes if any of these sound interesting

Matthew 6:16-18
“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

The operative word there is WHEN you fast, not IF. Christ tells us that we aren't supposed to go around bragging and making a big deal about it, but fasting is a good spiritual tool that helps bring us closer to God. Its not just about the physical act of refraining from certain foods, we are called to increase our daily prayers, scripture readings, and almsgiving
