Very simple and easy but a little bland. I added fresh chilli and it made all the difference. If you weren’t concerned about being vegan, I think some chorizo would be great too!
This is a simple, traditional Greek Cypriot low-carb vegan dish my mother taught me to eat. Greek Cypriots were mainly vegan back in the 1930’s when my mother was a child. They grew to be healthy, slim and strong and lived to their 90’s.
